Correct me if I am wrong.....

As with most cars the model differences are to lead you up to the top priced unit. To do this you must make differences in the models. I think that with the base RT having the ability of getting all the options would as you say lead to people picking and choosing to load the RT the way they want in and leave less sales for the RT-AC and the RT-S. By setting it up this way by the time you load the RT to where you want it you might as well get an AC. Since you can't get the RT with so you go to the AC model or the S since you are spending that much money anyway. I just don't under stand the lack of colors. Only three when they are doing red and yellow and white for the RS. You would think they would have more choice. Maybe they figure people will paint to please themselves. I would love to have an RT-AC in blue with the trailer but I have sunk a lot getting my GS where I wanted it and would not get what I needed out of it so I am going to keep it and either put bags or a trailer on it. By the way no trailer is shown as an option for the new RS so I think we would still be voiding the warranty to put one on. Since I have not been able to get a best warranty on my used Spyder at a reasonable cost I guess I will put the hitch on when the warranty expires.:shocked:

It's like every other business...BRP is trying to make a buck. If they don't make a buck (or enough of them) then they're out of business and gone (unless Obama is willing to send them money so they can continue to do things wrong without going belly-up). But that's a whole 'nother story.

We all have our ideas of how BRP could do things better just like we could do a better job of coaching our favorite sports team than the smuck that is getting paid to do it (especially if they're losing).

The thing is, BRP (and hopefully the coach) have a lot more information than we do.

Bottom line is, if we really were as good at running a company as we think we are, why don't we? It isn't as easy as it looks, most of the time.

Still, customers have a lot to do with steering a company into directions that we want them to go. Especailly if it makes economic sense.

:roflblack: When I got my 1953 Ford F-100, it didn't have a passenger sunvisor. Believe it or not, each sunvisor was a separate option, as was a heater, fresh air heater, second taillight, etc. My, how times have changed! :roflblack:

I blieve spare tires and a rear bumber were also special options. The price changed too. What was it ? about $1900.00 or so
