    Can only mean they are planning on expanding the product line. No maker would invest $$$ in opening a testing center to support 3 models alone when its infinitely cheaper to ship a car and testing rigs for a week and rent a garage.

    Sounds strange Actually the Nürburgring GmbH conducted quite some tarmac make-up just recently. Not the entire track though, but at some crucial legs. For example the former bumpy braking zone at Hatzenbach now is smooth like a baby butt - more secure, but less of a thrill

    re AM: sounds like the new shareholders know what to do

    Aww the bumps of the nurburgring give it its character!

    Walter rohl once said " to go fast there you have to know the turns, to race there you must know the bumps"
