Could be 'management mentality' of bottom line management, not managing their
product (boy that Nissan/Cummins thread has me going...) These folks do NOT
understand king of hill lost leader making it up on general badge
recognition and the volumes that then comes along 'years' later...remember
this mentality's horizon is just a few quarters, not years out
Like that GM had direct injection Caddy gasser killing the market, but decided to
'keep' it only in their high end (highest margin) over a decade before Ford came
out with the F150's direct injection...what would the lay of the land
now look if those bean counters allowed in their truck lineup over a
decade ago
Understand, but am a huge big block fan...ever since we stuffed a L88 into our
Vette we raced on weekends. Also sold out of that partnership after one race...knew
I'd kill myself as that year body did not have a L88 option...
So not stiff enough and it went 'that-a-way' when I wanted to go 'this-a-way'
Am in a huge minority loving big blocks, but okay with me...am happy with my 7.4L
and am in a 'gosh darn' position of 'having' to rebuild it soon... ;)
Suspect the aluminum block isn't up to hours and hours WOT towing several tons
Just my guess and know it 'can' be done, but the R&D cost (ROI) may not be
short enough for the bean counter management to risk their bonuses
