Reminds me a bit of how De Beers controlled the diamond market for those many years, as if giving the consumer too much will somehow devalue BMWs market. Porsche and Ferrari, on the other hand, pretty much will sell you the best of whatever they have at any given time with the promise that something better is just around the corner. Two different marketing strategies.
I just watch an older Chris Harris at Autocar vid of a Porsche 911 GT3 and Nissan Skline kick the crap out of an M3. Of course, both of those cars are more expensive than the M3, but the Skyline has all the utility of M3. A Build Your Own Nissan GT-R fully loaded w/ a MSRP of $86K. A comparably equipped came up to $77, so BMW going to have up the ante if they want keep playing.
