You're right about that. "We have a shitty product nobody wants but we sure as HELL don't want to say that. So, we'll just tell them we're selling all we can build..."

>> it's brand building...you don't believe in it (nor understand it)]

What it is is trying to CYA after the fact. The POS is overpriced, overhyped, and lacks any REAL utility. L-O-S-E-R.

Al, > It's marketing dave...it's brand building...

Yeah, that must be it. "Limited First-Year Collector's Edition."

Face it Al, if GM could make more, they would make more. It makes no sense to artificially "limit" production.
