Personally I think it's because of two reasons.
1) There are still a lot of 2008/9 models on lots because dealers got greedy.
2) Not a big market for high dollar muscle cars at the moment because of the economy. |
I don't disagree, but I do think you are missing two other reasons.
3: GT500 production figures are and have been very optimistic if this is to be a long term offering. The downside to a limited production car is that you have to keep it limited, and Ford was arguably pushing more than a few too many GT500's over the curb.
4: Of the upcoming 2011 Mustang powertrain changes it is more than a little likely that the GT500 will be the first of the three regular production models to undergo the pending changeover likely contributing to an early exit here.
