I don't think this is a "fact" or "right vs wrong" situation. The issue is: Why offend part of your

customer base with an advertisement?

I don't think one needs to put faith or trust in what they read about this or agree with it. The fact that people, including us, are writing about the...

German cars due to history/politics.

Many Americans buy American carso ut of support of our country, not because they are the best.

Politics effect many purchases, large or small.

In the end, any ad campaign that actually pisses off any segment of the population is not a good

choice.

ALMS will quickly go the way of Chump Car. Could be bankrupt by end of year, more likely

next year with exodus of top tier teams and sponsors as well as top tier teams

GT2 is not enough to keep a series alive.

Vanina Ickx couldn't drive a nail. She was unceremoniously removed from the Audi DTM team and I

cannot see her driving that car at Le Mans without a big check coming from some sponsor.

Legge is far better, but there are better than both available.

Exactly right. The R10 and R15 were built on DTM technology, not the other way around. Audi AG

budget for the ALMS and LMS series last year was 45 million Euro.

The factory DTM team had a 150 million Euro budget.

DTM is equal to LMP cars in all ways and beyond in many.

I just read this and I am shocked. Service Dogs are owned/used for many reason besides those who

are sight or hearing impaired.

You and your article are 100% correct, Shon. Details inside..... (edit)
