Regardless of the quality of the new car (there is not enough hard fact

look poorly. It cannot be considered a PR coupe for the Morgan world.
Oh yes! one last thing...the article states the new 6-cylindered car
will be called the Morgan Plus 8 GTR showing that arithmetic must bow to
the realities of marketing. >>
Let me ask everyone this. Say I've got a business where I can sell
everything I can manufacture. My R&D costs are nil, my tooling and factory
are paid for, I have no capital expenses, and I have a 3 year waiting list
for my product. I have no competition, I can set my own prices, and people
around the world are drooling to get their hands on my product no matter what
I charge for it. My technology is not going out of date, I can make the same
product 20 years from now that I'm making now.
Am I missing something here? WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD I CHANGE MY
PRODUCT AROUND AND TAKE A RISK LIKE THAT UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS??????? So
there can be a 6 year waiting list instead of 3? Wouldn't I have to be
some kind of an idiot?
Someone please explain this to me.
