Why bother having different brands if all you are going to do is
dilute them?



B/c, Ernie, it is much simpler to have one business plan for a hundred
ships than ot have 100 business plans for 100 ships. Economies of scale,
Ole Chap.



Sounds like what Ford has done to Jaguar, which now looks like the
******* child of a Taurus. (And would they please stop pronouncing it
"Jag-you-are!"



I'm OK with Ford. They've actually step back and put much more Jag
content into Jags and future Jags will be much more Jag than before.
Ford also hasn't screwed up Volvo. GM, on the other hand, are buying
Subarus and calling them Saabs and making Trailblazers and calling them
Saabs. Yet, they have the nerve to run this be individualistic
commercials for Saab.

Another big company move: Adobe is buying Macromedia.
