Hey, I support what Joe initially said... once upon a time Bombardier (it's French - Bom-bard-ee-ay) fired me, although I can't blame the whole company for that fiasco. However, before that they shut down all operations at the Colorado Springs office without any warning whatsoever - the employees showed up like it was any normal work day and found out they had an hour to get their stuff and get out. So I know I wouldn't buy from 'em. Plus, all their execs are French-Canadian a**holes who look down on Americans. Sorry, but it's true.
They spent a ton of money building a new 5-story office building for CFD (consumer finance division, which financed the SeaDoos & SkiDoos) and then before long shut it down, and I don't know what happened to all those folks. If you ever cruise thru Jax on I-95 you can see it. They tried to get into all sorts of other things like mortgage finance, which was floundering and represented only like 1 or 2 percent of their business and what did they do? Cut CFD here and kept MFD (mortgage). They had three different presidents of Jacksonville operations while I was there (2 yrs). They're also into aerospace (LearJet, Canadair) and railways (high-speed transit systems and railcar leasing).
