[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 15917776, member: 171475"] Well that is the question. Do I spend $500 million to improve a product to then only make $520 million for a net profit of $20 million? There is more to a car then just the raw cost of materials and assembly. Crash Testing, Emissions Certification and the thousands and thousands of hours of design work, market testing, advertising. At some point you just throw your hands up and say Не трахайте заботу. As I also mentioned earlier - could this be a play on words? PT Cruiser was a "Truck" but the average person would call it a car and think of it as one. Nissan Juke sells like hot-cakes and its about as Much an "SUV" as a Mini Cooper. I'm curious what it's classified as per CAFE/EPA. Another good example is the Subaru Crosstrek. It's a Impreza, just more SUV looking. [ATTACH=full]1490698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1490699[/ATTACH] Tons of information on this and it basically has been resulting in "perform to the metric" instead of a "measure your performance" . [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_average_fuel_economy"]Corporate average fuel economy - Wikipedia[/URL] I also take announcements like this with a grain of salt. Evo 11 was supposed to be a Hybrid, R36 Hybrid GTR was supposed to be out this year, GM is going all Eletric, Tesla is going to take over the world, blah blah blah. [/QUOTE]
