Even though replys # 22 and 23 have made my case.

"Your Honor,is it not True that any excrement DB allows to be "Assembled" overseas
AND not be Imported back into the Fatherland (and the E.U.) is failing the "German Standards"
[In Quality Control] requirement?"

[I.E. "If we (Mercedes) can get away with Labeling "Cat Poo" on wheels "Mercedes" AND the Locals don't "Call Us" on it...
WE WILL !!!" (Reference: S.A.,P.R.C.,Alabama) BUT WE sure as Hell ain't gonna Buy or Operate that Junk!]

Wait, Excuse Me! Internal Combustion engines produced in Tuscaloosa by Renault/Nissan under contract to DB?
AND "They" (Mercedes) expect to sell these Chassis ONLY in North America?
(This leaves the realm of Humor and approaches the same sort of Insult that Adolph perpetrated on the French
,forcing them to sign papers of Surrender in the same Railway Car the Germans had to "Sign In" [Capitulate]at the end of WW1.)
