Toyota/Honda would buy Alfa and let the Alfa engineers have their way and
introduce the Toyota/Honda reliability to the Marque.
Well, when you speak of Honda, you're talking about a company that was
experimenting with 25,000 rpm engines, engines with non-circular cylinders
and engines with adjustable valve spring tension back in the '60s. This is
also the company that developed and fielded the first six-cylinder
motorcycle engine, which was an absolute jewel. Since Soichiro's death some
years ago, their philosophy may have changed, but they have always been very
serious about their engineering, research, development and customers as
drivers and riders. And in that respect, I think they are very similar to
the Alfa that we all think about. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad fit. But
then, acquisition isn't part of the Honda philosophy.
