Being the owner of an Aero for some time I have seen various facets of the reseller channel. I would pay for experience and an unwashed car. There is a small enough pool of skilled people who can fix these cars first go. Even having a strong enough relationship with the factory to get questions answered seems to require a degree of mystery. Making it more difficult for them to remain in business is an unusual tactic. The extended family needs to be built as it is part of the charm and experience.
The factory have not been effective on a number of occasions so to assume that pulling more back to the factory will improve customer service needs verification. Sorry to blaspheme but facts can be proven. If improvements are made then fair enough.
The low volumes involved around the Aero have made it unpleasant on several occasions. I seriously wanted to use the Coupe as my every day car as shooter has done in the past but it was not practical.
I hope the money from II goes into improve quality and service. I hope the Plus6 platform is designed to make it built in.
