It's strange how the German companies seem to be competing with each other to build the "Popemobile" - why? - is it to attract the Catholic market?

It does seem sad though that yet another long historic association with Mercedes-Benz has been broken - Mercedes-Benz has really lost a lot of its perceived prestige (in Europe at least) over the past few years. However, the long association Mercedes-Benz has with Third-world dictators still seems to be strong - demand remains high among the corrupt rulers of many of the poorest countries in the world - thank goodness DCX can still rely on their loyalty
