Thats true, but what I said is why can't they have it as an OPTION? If someone wants that option, they can wait a few months to have the exact car they want made up and delivered. How can that hurt the business by offering something that maybe a few people might want?

I work in manufacturing and if our customer wants something, no matter how different it is to our production vehicles we do anything in our power to deliver their car with exactly what they want.

I'd happily wait 6 months for the car with everything I actually want it to have.

I've got a great idea! How about HIDs standard across the range, as if you'd have halogen reflectors on cars in this day and age, at the very least it should be halogen projectors, then maybe HID as an option.

Instead of wasting money on LPG, they could have spent the same money on diesel instead, everyone seems to favor diesel rather than LPG, which has the image of being crappy to drive, backfiring etc (never let the facts get in the way of a good story), I don't think 95% of people would give a rats *** about some whizz-bang LPI LPG system, they see LPG and assume crap. Also the variance between servos in the quality of LPG, you might be lucky and have all the stars aligned, a full moon during a leap year to get the same decent batch twice in a row.

Its all about perception, not capability.

Or lets cut the crap and stop making the Falcon all together and actually design and produce cars people actually want to buy?
