So he moved to a different desk within the monolith?

MD- I thought you were going to say he looks a whole lot like Justin Trudeau :)

Stephan is cool. Basically the polar opposite of Sergio. I can't see those 2 guys having a great deal in common or to talk about.

MD- No photos in the bedroom. But I do have a Periodic table of the Elements in the home office.

How many people are motivated and able to purchase a $2.3 million dollar car (plus about $160,000 in sales tax!) with severely little application.

Maybe Bugatti would do well to bring out a nice $2,000,000 SUV.

Bugatti is just a vestige of Piech masturbating his ego and as such is pointless.

Skytop - The SUV and or a sedan would all sell out. 500 units of each annually could be sold without much trouble. This is not a mass production business.
