Eric,
Don't forget Chrysler Invented The five year plan (Thanks Lee Iacocca)
Wherein each year the car is changed to intrigue buyers 5 times then the
product is killed in favor of a new model.
year one new car
year two better motor
year 3 diffrent options and cleaned up look
year 4 better motor
year 5 etc. etc. etc. then change product
It goes somthing like this fill me in if you guys know.
