So I work at a northeast business school's international programming center and while I'm not busy planning trips for our students around the world, I am diligently lurking on TCL. I have come to a crossroads of sorts, having proposed bringing in a speaker from the automotive industry to talk about global aspects of their work. Parts sourcing, manufacturing, branding, you name, it, we would consider it - but it must pertain to business, and be of interest to business students.

So my question for you guys is - what do you think are the sexiest topics in the automotive industry today, directly relating to cross-border relationships, and who perhaps, (NOT Jeremy Clarkson, boneheads), would be an interesting personality to talk about it?

P4Cs (is that even necessary anymore?)

[Mr. Clarkson]

(NOT Jeremy Clarkson, boneheads

Thanks. I wouldn't choose you either.

Thanks. I wouldn't choose you either.

Sergio Marchione talking about how to stuff 'muricans into Cinquecenti. Or why looking good is enough. Or whatever.

Marchione would be my first pick for trans-continental issues.

Ewe Gemballa?

International kidnapping? Tax evasion? Murder?

I got his cellphone number on speed dial.

No but really, I'd go with a crazy European tuner, or perhaps someone knowledgeable about the whole Kaizo R34 fiasco, how to import cars, how not to, how to run a legit import business, why certain companies don't bring certain cars to certain countries?

Just throwing out some ideas.

er: Mr. Clarkson

Hahaha, did not mean that in a bad way, however!
