The other car has a perfect chassis, high quality, never breaks, but with an obsolete engine that really isn't fit for todays tasks compared with the competition.

When you blend those two cars, it is for the purpose of having an excellent engine in an excellent chassis. Shouldn't be so difficult to grasp should it? Will MS and Nokia make it work? Well, they try hard to, and have no other way to the future, this is their shot. I believe they will make it, not because I love Nokia or MS, but because it is a very good strategy, and they need this to survive.

It will also be a real alternative to iPhone and Android.
Jane, you ignorant slut. I see that you are confused--you clearly gave that impression immediately with your opening. Given your profoundly confused state, I can now understand how you might make the argument you made, and overlook the other obvious possibility you posed: When you blend those two same cars, it might be for the purpose of having an excellent engine in an excellent chassis, but through the miracle of Microsoft's and Nokia's amazing choices over the last few years, we could easily end up with the unimpressive, unwanted engine and a chassis that in fact might still fall apart--and worse, it might even be a throwback to big, clunky chassis that only your grandfather might appreciate, complete with fins, circular brake lights and a dark cloud that follows it everywhere because it's not nearly as energy efficient and innovative an engine and chassis as everyone else, who has gone on and evolved the whole market instead of playing catch-up like Microsoft+Nokia.
