merchant vessel (yes, Switzerland has a Merchant Marine) investigating a casualty. After I concluded my investigation I had a long conversation over coffee (the best coffee I've had in a long time, as they get most of their provisions from Europe) with the Chief Engineer and the Master of the vessel. The Master is Swiss/German, the Chief Engineer a Croate. The conversation turned to cars, and then dealers. The response to my dealer horror stories: "They are all the same, a world wide Mafia!" Their stories were as bad as anything I've ever heard about US dealers, including the attitude described by Dan W.
By the way, the Chief Engineer was raving about the SCC and SVC engines, and the 9-5 Europe only diesel 6. These guys love Saabs, but prefer VW Polo diesels and Toyota Celicas, as they are rarely at home.
The ship, by the way, was an amazing piece of Danish Engineering. Such high quality materials and attention to detail. Industrial design that pays attention to details of livability and nuance, a common theme in Scandinavian design, like our Saabs.
