I thought of an unfortunate side of the 40's being cancelled when I was at work today. I'm an Engineer, so the S is a little above most people's pay grade around here. Lots of Civics, minivans and Corollas in the parking lot. Mostly this is because Engineers are generally very practical people. But there are a few nicer cars out there. An M3, M5, 650i, A5, 911S, Boxster, FX50, STS-V...mostly bought used and probably in the 35-45k range. These are the people who know and have asked about when I'm getting my MS. There's just no way I can sell them on it now with the entry point so high. I think this cuts out a large swath of the Engineering population.
When I made my reservation in November, I had heard a rumor about an impending price increase. I had always thought the base model MS had way too much value for the price to stay that way for long. So the price increase came around and although it was only 2.5k, I still felt good. Little did I know that 5 months later the entry point would be 12.5k higher, and totally beyond what I could reasonably justify. So I feel very lucky and quite vindicated in my decision at 1AM 5 months ago. Looking forward to getting the car!
