Yep, fingers crossed. Between the family infighting, investment required to launch product - never mind to supply and service us after the fact like anything that resembles a proper car company - an external cash infusion could be a good thing. But as Pandy mentions, this is a mercenary VC firm, not a car company. I'll dig into the rep of this particular one.
Now...a Guzzi engine, shaft drive, Italian styling, a pair of Ferragamo driving shoes for me....and gorgeous stilettos for the 'next' Mrs. 06032...! Could make a nice pair of M3W's.
