You are asking about the future, which either you nor I can accurately predict. We can however let the man sell his genuine cars today, because by any real stretch of the stick that is what they are and distinct from all others for that fact alone.

When he goes we will see what happens. Let's hope the brand goes on as an American enterprise that pays homage to the heritage of the name. If it goes another way then so be it.

If the cars are selling, or outselling others then it speaks volumes.
