Don't ask me how Fiat pulled this one off but it is damn funny!

...That should have the following image embedded (Why no editing posts?): http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/adverts/cd32_bb.jpgWhy am I reminded of the coup that Commodore/Amiga scored with their CD32 billboard?
What's so funny about this? I don't get it
Here is an article I found that a discussion of the different materials one can use to build speakers. I can NOT vouch for the factual accuracy of the information in the article or the web site.

When you read the article and look at the characteristics of all the materials, MDF, from a performance/cost perspective, seems ideal. It has all the performance qualities (stiff and damped) as well as economies of scale (cheap and machinable).
Porsche owns a majority share in VW.
Man, they're all just sleeping together.
lol
Fun fact - I never knew Fiat owned Ferrari and VW owned Lamborghini.

I don't think VW owns Bugatti, but they are allowed to build them. So I think they basically call the shots but Bugatti still gets to feel good about being its "own company"
Germans are just buying up all the sports car companies
I'm surprised the Fiat managed to get to the VW building...and more surprised the VW building wasn't on fire after an employee tried to make some coffee.
Shitty, shitty cars all around.

From what I understand, VW own the rights to the name "Bugatti automobiles", VW created Bugatti as it stands today, VW opened the factory, employed the people, assigned some of it's engineers, etc.
It's not like Bugatti was already around and running and then VW bought it, VW recreated it from what was basically nothing. Bugatti as its "own company" which manufactured cars hasn't existed for a very long time.
FIAT kept GM from bankruptcy with an injection of cash, they also own Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo.
where does it say Fiat was intenionally doing this. It looks like someone in a Fiat ust happened to be there when the street map people drove by
Someone correct me if (when) I'm wrong, but didn't Ford used to own Jaguar, Volvo and a large part of Mazda (which I still think they own).
Keeping GM alive does not impress me in the least. And buying other makes means little. If I had billions of dollars I could buy all sorts of stuff, it would not mean I was good at manufacturing anything in particular.
