    Bombardier to move production to ... gulp ... Mexico?.

    Did anyone see that blirb in this months DW about BRP moving ATV production to Mexico to cut labor costs. How horrible. You can kiss all quality goodbye. It also said something about motor production moving there from Austria as well. I guess Rotax will now be RoMex. What a sad thing.

    From what I see around here there can't be enough people in Mexico to operate a complete factory.
    I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!
