To make it simpler. While YOU (collective you) the consumer are selfish and do not care about anyone else then YOU have no right to complain when no one cares about you.

Here is a thought. In a hypothetical situation, Ford Australia are about to close manufacturing.

They offer a plan to recover. ALL new Falcons/FPVs are fixed price, no discount and you must order what you want in advance so there will be no end of model runouts or discounted demos.

Do you:

a) Pay $68,995 for your GT or $55,655 for your XR6T and feel happy that you are saving your favorite marque from extiction.

or

b) Whinge and moan on an internet forum that you have been forced to buy a FWD Taurus or Mondeo because falcons are too dear and blame everyone but yourself for the loss of of an Australian Icon.
Pretty sure people will say they will do a but in reality will do b.

OK here's a question for the business owners out there. What would you guys/girls like to help you in your businesses that would allow you to have a better bottom line and look at expansion or employing more staff??
