Be careful with what the word 'compelling' means. I'm not going to highjack the original poster's thread for a CW debate. Feel free to PM me if you want some links to typical topics discussed US college/university history levels. Otherwise, Google will auto solve for you "reasons for the civil war besides slavery" when you start typing the phrase.

To the original topic, if BMW is going for a big bang approach on the cars then that may be their corporate strategy. But I think it is more likely that they may miss their Sept 1 target if they are relying on governments (state of federal) to abide by tight timetables. If they miss their dates and give this as an excuse, then I think it still reflects poorly on them for not identify this as a risk item and working to minimize/overcome the risk. They can't control the government process, but they can anticipate and buffer for delays.

I hope you each get your cars soon: looking forward to your posts and videos.
