Real published text, but nobody said it in the first person — so it is never shown as a quote.

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this car's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
