Even the Stemme airframe is made in Eastern Europe -- are you saying
Sremme quality is second rate? I don't think so.

I'll take a second hand BMW over a new KIA any day. Quality holds its
value in the long run.

Not so sure about the KIA but in Europe I'd take a used Toyota over the
BMW in a heartbeat. Quality is frequently confused with price when
value should actually be the criterion.

I'd much rather have a used Stemme than a new KIA any day!

You're confusing quality with a price tag, Toyota Corolla proved to
have much better quality /dependability over sophisticated 100K BMWs,
not to mention Jag's...A lot of times these "excellent quality" Jags
need new gel coat after just couple of years of private usage.
