A tribute to Koenigsegg
A brief look at the history of the Swedish company.
We all know the Swedish company Koenigsegg for its limited production hypercars with outstanding performance figures and exotic design. However the company wasn't always a big player among the supercar manufacturers as its history is actually short, beginning in 1994. Its founder, Christian von Koenigsegg, had a specific goal when he created this company – he wanted to build an upper class supercar and this is what he has achieved . . . . .

This Sucks For The PGA Tour Caddies
California Court Throws Out Caddie Lawsuit Against PGA Tour
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Caddies lost their class-action lawsuit against the PGA Tour when a federal judge in California ruled they signed a contract with the tour that requires them to wear bibs as part of their uniform and cannot claim that corporate sponsorship on the bibs makes them human billboards.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria dismissed the lawsuit Tuesday night with prejudice, which typically means it cannot be refiled.
The decision came just over a year after caddies filed the lawsuit in northern California, the same federal court where former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon successfully sued the NCAA for keeping college players from selling their marketing rights.

This Is Intriguing News
Japan's Automakers Could Merge Into Three Groups Or Less By 2020: Report
The Japanese auto industry is crowded. Too crowded, according to Bloomberg’s industry expert, who thinks Japan’s seven automakers will have to merge into three or fewer groups in the next four years to keep up with rising development costs.
Last month, Toyota went from owning a majority stake in Daihatsu to owning the company entirely after a $3 billion sale. That move, according to Bloomberg’s source Takaki Nakanishi, an analyst at Jeffries Group LLC investment banking firm, marks beginning of a trend towards consolidation in Japan.
In the next four years, Nakanishi thinks Japan’s seven remaining automakers—Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Nissan, Fuji Heavy Industries, Mazda and Mitsubishi Motors— will merge into no more than three consolidated companies.
The industry expert says the move would come as a response to the rising cost associated with developing safer, more efficient and autonomous cars.
