"Innovation and market leadership has never been Daimler Benz forte. They have in general been able to be good followers and integrate proven technology, slowly."
Are you seriously trying to say that German auto manufacturers, specifically DaimlerBenz, is not an innovator?!You must have missed the day when they pointed out that Mercedes was the innovator in ABS braking systems in automobiles, among *several* other innovations.

Kirby, you continue to point out why I usually don't waste my time trying to debate you. I never called U.A.W. workers 'dirty', *you* did that.
And how can any literate person compare what we have been talking about with homicidal killers from World War II?
Oh, and your comment "They (now DCX)jettison jobs and companies as fast as you can say Heil!" puts a nice ethnic slant to your rant too.
Good Job!
