[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15729264, member: 188865"] Perhaps. Business predictions are always tough, especially with sales and I'm not saying my view is infallible. I just know that the average consumer weighs cost and value. The examples you cited weren't huge disparities in cost/value. And also were apples/oranges in terms of differentiation. Comparing the 350s and the previous 500s was a bit apples/oranges. One was a muscle car, the other a more focused track car. I can only speak with real confidence from MY perspective, which is this. If the new 500 comes out and it's a 350R with a blower, and it's $60k or less, I'll dump my 350 onto the market (at a loss) and buy. The calculus works. If it comes out and it's MSRP of $70K with the now anticipated "dealer markup" which puts the real price $5-$10k above that, the numbers don't work as well, and I'm ASSUMING that I'm not alone there. It would have to be REALLY REALLY improved for a $25k-$30k difference for me to jump ship. I don't feel like I'm way out in left field with that logic. For the R, the numbers are a bit different. That value gap is slightly narrower, but the cost gap is much smaller. I'd think those are going to get dumped quicker AND the dealers are going to have to come off their artificial markups stat.
