I never said you said that. I said it, and it was the very first line in my first reply to you in this thread. That was the whole base to my argument to your reply about
repeat customers that you were talking about.
In fact my post was merely stating that Acura does not offer many options to its customers. I agree that some of their customers consider value for the dollar. I disagree that if someone walked in an Acura showroom and wanted a more powerful RL with a tighter suspension they would just stop and say, I'll take it! If an owner of a 530 walks into BMW at the end of his lease term and came into some extra money. He could opt to purchase a 540 or M5 or even a 7-series.
And
I stated it in MY reply that:
But I'm not doubting Honda loses many customers who goes for V8s in the RL's class. But how many does it lose? And does it really justify it business-wise to invest millions of dollars for development a V8 for this very low market yet? See Q45. I doubt the M45 will be successful, but the jury's still out on that.
