[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15729195, member: 188865"] Are you guys actually reading what I write? I'm not disagreeing with you. The entire thread has been me addressing why I don't think there's going to be a significant drop in the value of the 350's. You're proving my point. I don't think Ford is going to be able to offer a car that's better than the 350 for a comparable price as the current trims of the 350. So even if the 500 is far superior, there's going to be a price gap that protects the value of the 350. And you guys keep mischaracterizing what I've said. I've never claimed Ford couldn't sell cars above a certain price point. Hell, they could build a $130k mustang and sell it depending on how tricked it is....my point is that it's not their wheelhouse in terms of revenue and effort. Will they sell every 350R? Surely. Will they make as much money as selling 100 times as many GT Premium level III upgrades? No. Not even close. I don't care what their margins are. Wal Mart makes BILLIONS off 3% margin, they just move an assload of product. There are yacht manufacturers that make healthy profits selling one or two boats every several years. And then there's businesses scattered all along that spectrum. My point is, once Ford starts getting into the Grand Sport/ZO6 pricing, it does affect their bean counting. They're boxed in with premium products above and more common mass products below (on the 500) so there's a sweet spot they're trying to hit. [/QUOTE]
