[QUOTE="mavisky, post: 14543053, member: 139858"] Marketing suicide would be releasing two top range models for the Mustang at the same time. Launching a GT350 side by side with a GT500 would dillute the sales of both. Releasing the 350 now and the 500 next year keeps that from happening. Look at the timing of the Boss release as compared to the release of the 13-14 GT500 as an example. The Stingray holds true to this as well, as does Porsche. Every year Porsche has a new model coming out. 911 launches with the Carrera / Carrera S and the Carrera 4/ Carrera 4 s. Then it's the Turbo Then the GT3 Then the Targa Then the GTS THen the GT3 RS Then possibly a GT2 Then they release a new re-design and repeat the process. Launching all of those cars at once means that two years into your 6-7 year product plan you've got nothing to release. [/QUOTE]
