Sorry to come off rough. Not my intention, really. I figured you were being sarcastic. I was too. Also my mistake then about the LAV. I thought that the MOWAG was Yank originally (USMC design 'dream team' - They certainly seem to take lots of credit for it). I thought the Swiss were doing the...

Yeah yeah. I know. GM Diesel and Bombardier...but are these really continuous lines ?? Don't get me wrong. I've heard the LAV series are pretty good 8x8's, but again, based on the American design. Am I right ? Does GM continually pump out LAV's and replacement parts ? And is Bombardier set up to...
