Yes, a solid point. Basically the idea is same, it's the yearly inspection indicating the roadworthiness of the vehicle, so the fault could be either emissions not matching the scale or body fractures.
Even tho one cannot estimate the cost of ownership from those stats, they are a pretty good indicator of the overall build quality of the vehicle.
http://www.anusedcar.com/ features compiled statistics. Most of the ford models are translatable to their US counterparts, but most of the trucks and bigger saloon cars are completely absent from the import programs and road traffic because in Europe we have this thing called climate change.:)
I am European, so my opinion is bound to be biased, but in short: you are wrong.
I measure car quality by (fuel) efficiency, emissions, total cost of ownership and reliability. No American car manufacturer can match the level upheld by the big three (VAG/BMW/Mercedes).
Ford comes close but their cars are just a little worse by every single criterion.
There are statistics to support my claim, such as the inspection statistics released yearly from Germany.
And if the system itself is fairly modular AND the hardware is open then there should be no stopping you from replacing the closed bits. But that's a big if.
There's three parts to this puzzle here. Mer, which is the core distribution. Nemo UX, an open source UI for phones built on top of Mer. Lastly, there's the Sailfish UI, which is the proprietary, Nemo-compatible Jolla-look&feel UX.
It's currently possible to build Mer along with Nemo for N900/N950/N9 (along with several non-Nokia devices), but as far as I understand, the Nemo UI is not usable for the former device. The Mer wiki has quite a lot of relevant information on the topic.
Well the leak is a fake. In case anyone wants to know, it shows a picture taken from a famous shocksite. I don't know if it destroys your hd or anything, I tried it inside a virtual machine.

Yes it will. They even demoed the OS on N9s, but the good question is, whether they'll actually release it for the N9.
In any case, the N9 will benefit a free operating system from Mer and Nemo UX - which will be application compatible with Sailfish.

My bet goes for Uwe Boll.
