Influential people may run with an idea and repeat it ad nauseam (I'd expect the phenomenon to be well versed on a blog like this), but their job is to distill layered issues into flat, relatively homogeneous points of view. I feel that the health care adjunct really simplifies an otherwise nuanced and valuable piece. Also- "We like to think we make the best automobiles (we don’t)." Find me one American that would take a Ford/Chevy/Pontiac/whatever still happens to be around over a BMW/Mercedes/Acura/Infinity/Lexus. Those are my only gripes. Found you guys through Chinalyst. Overall, very nice piece/blog. Spot on! Terrific sketch of these new series on the horizon, but the populism feels a little contrived.
