Hello Glifford, Well written and most of it agreed except for a couple of comments below.

Camry changed in 2007 and is unchanged till 2009. I think same is with corolla. Accord too continues its model for many years. They launched a new version for 2008, and 2009 remains the same. Same goes with the Nissan Altima I'm so much in Love with. The Civic has its lovely design for a long time with the only exception that they've changed its lighting. > Even in bikes you get to see that. > Just look at the litre-class SBK range. Every single year there is > something new. Wrong, they mostly go the car makers way too. The difference with them is that they come out with new stuff and they believe in perfection rather than trying use customers for testing and feedback. They're in most cases confident that their new technology is good enough to go a couple of years and in the mean while they could come up with something better and use the time for testing it themselves. > > The Octavia and Laura.

My point is that they need to give the market sometime. > > > > > They ought to be more considerate to existing customers. > > They were considerate to you when you bought it.

My friend, sometime is all i said ... didnt ask them to keep the stuff the same for life. Theres a huge gap between 2002 and 2009. > > Why sell something old and out dated manufactured from very > depreciated machines at same or higher prices? Who is cheating whom > then? As I said earlier, upgrade and sell your product, but atleast give the current gen products a couple of years breathing time while you perfect on the new technology you come up with. Its good for you, its good for your customers, and thats what the rest of the makers do as I pointed above. Also the word cheating is too strong for this discussion. I did call it disappointing, but is by no means cheating. Rest of your comments, some contradict with what i said in this post; rest I agree with. Regards, Eric
