Member No.: 314	QUOTE (94bird @ Mar 22 2005, 06:40 PM) The move is said to have been initiated by Vice Chairman Bob Lutz after it was determined the vehicles couldn’t be engineered and produced as cost effectively as competitive rear-drive models such as the hot-selling Chrysler 300 and new Ford Mustang. Let's not leave out the Infiniti G35's, Nissan 350Z. All cars that are very much in demand. So tell me how is it cost effective to produce a less expensive car that doesn't sell?
