Driven a Gazelle lately?

Article Abstract:

Eurasia Motor Corporation is being sued by several automobile dealers trying to get their money back from what could be a coast to coast swindle. Several dozen car dealers accross the country paid from $25,000 to $60,000 to acquire a Eurasia Motor Corp. franchise. The company raised $10 million in less than two years, and investigations found it no longer has the money. The company promised to deliver a line of off road vehicles called Gazelles. It claimed several automobile companies were going to build the Gazelles, but those companies have disavowed any ties with Eurasia. The company maintains that the Gazelles will be manufactured in Mexico.
