That's a good question, I wasn't aware of any mandatory retirement age stipulations. Whoever inherits the reigns is going to have a lot of work to do. I just don't see Norbert's changes resulting in many positives over the long term. If he has to retire in 2 years, then maybe it explains a lot of things; he really doesn't give a flying fuck about the long-term.

Go ask Honda how cost cutting affected the performance aspects of its cars. The Civic used to have double wishbone front suspension....
