    I'll likely pass...

    Interesting that Porsche, BMW, Jeep all have their own bicycles and they are
    just about the worst garbage out there. Lesson to auto makers: stick to
    what you know.

    I'm not sure what the incentive for the auto dealers is but the bike
    manufacturer can sell slick looking (but mostly junk) bikes to people
    who know nothing about bikes. So they have a nice incentive.

    The Montague mountain bike was sold through BMW dealers. Montague
    makes the folding frame bike developed under DARPA. By all accounts
    the frame is rugged and sturdy but the components are junk.

    Made by Kent, the same people who have stuffed some of GM's other
    badges on bikes, notably one of the overbloated superbarge SUV models.

    I've seen them. Low-end Pacifics are no worse in my opinion...at one
    third the price.

    I very much doubt these bikes are made by the auto manufacturers, they're
    probably just crappy chinese [censored] with a sticker on. It is, in other
    words, *merchandising*, and not an actual product.
