So now we should all just hold hands and get along when MC stumbles?

This is exactly it, and it is no surprise that those in the MC camp just don't see it. The air of superiority shown by those affiliated with MC is tiring and people will not forget it when MC has their share of issues. We even have to endure MC salesmen on here posting crap like this:

I guarantee that the Imor engines will be a hot commodity when it come to resale with the new MC's. The X-30 is 500lbs heavier than the 23 LSV; it is pretty obvious where it comes from when you water test the two boats.
I would worry more about the Malibu kool-aid drinkers on here, apparently they have not actually seen what other manufacturers have been doing over the past 5 years. Tige is taking big bites out of their market share and I think they deserve it.

This is the same attitude and unsubstantiated marketing BS that I received from MC salesmen in person as well. I think that MC makes great boats but they really need to change their approach and overall coorporate message regarding other brands. Needless to say I took my business elsewhere and couldn’t be happier.
