The said that it produced an incredible amount of motorized carts, something more than 12 or 15 million, and that even bypass this rate no one has not yet succeeded in modern possibilities automakers.
How is it that modern automobile giants have not been able to circumvent the antediluvian car early XX century? Firstly, they reasoned on the Internet, and has been the main technology backwardness and, consequently, their simplicity. Accordingly, with each new generation, cars are becoming more perfect, but at the same time more and let in a lot of them more difficult and costly.

And so on, in the third, fourth, Fifth, secondary reasons were many, all do not remember them.
