Fri Jul 29 07:30:05 PDT 2005

Is really interesting this article, specially for people like me that live 
so far from the place where the CNH make decitions about their new products, 
i am worry about all what i see here now in CNH is BLUE, two days ago i was 
in Brazil and i saw a couple of CNH dealers and they were all blue too.
 Of course in the web place of CNH i can find the red Case IH, but seems 
like if there is a desicion about to have all blue in this area. So i wonder 
what have the CNH team in their minds about thr red machines ??
  bye roberto
