I agree with both G and Simon's comments.
Yet again MMC have put their prices way out of reach of us mere mortals 80K! By the time it's going into production, it'll be 90, or even 100K!! And it's only a straight six engine, BOO
I don't understand Kin?
Gerwyn says they haven't got a big enough development budget, fair point, but you are complaining that the price is too high? You can't satisfy both those aspects without a much bigger production run; much much bigger than capacity ever can be. So without sounding rude which one do you want?
Simons point, as I read it, was that customers expectations at a higher price point go up; so it is their expectations that should be addressed. That was in response to my comment that I don't think it is possible to attain high quality (read better QC) at tht price point with a small production run. Expectations and of course how these 'issues' are dealt with.
As I said in an email to Simon:
"Low volume + reasonable price (read not extortionate) + fantastic thorough development/top QC is unachievable"
Perm any two from the above IMHO.
Unless of course you believe the profitability of MMC is innordinately large orvthat they are considerably ineffecient which is a completely different argument.
And as for Weismann isn't the coupe in the order of £185k?? Working from memory so prepared to be corrected
