I am just making the point that the model doesn't need to be offered, especially if they only sold around 20,000 units.

Do you remember the Envoy XUV from a few years back? Same concept. It's a really neat idea to have, but it just doesn't sell that well.

I like overly simple. And this is exactly how I describe it to people.





Don't get me wrong fellas, they are really nice and I know 2 people that have them and say nothing but good about them. It just seems to be a bit of a duplicate/added cost to manufacture a whole different model for just a few people a year.
