I want to make sure I follow your thoughts.

I understand the concept of Cradle to Grave but don't understand how it would explain the difference between European Dealers and U.S. Dealers.

Concerning your second point, are you stating the with the exception of OEMs that go bankrupt and Congressional interference that the U.S. Dealers have more safeguards and protections than the European Dealers?

Concerning your third point - interesting thought. Which OEM do you think Ghosn might be looking to do a merger with?
