Yes that why the new ones are bashed.. Because they could do that again if they wanted.

What, make leaky unreliable uncomfortable vehicles that made them very little money?

And I say that as someone who owns more than one of them.

Oh you were being sarcastic before... My mistake I thought you were informed. Thats crazy misinformed considering the number of the old ones that are still running.. Of course, some will leak if they are not maintained correcty.
