Price increase?

[Zing]

With deisel engines I think the appeal is better fuel economy and a simpler engine since for one thing deisels don't require spark plugs for combustion, just pressure. Not compelling reasons for me.

It's a good point about car manufacturers creating artificial demand. It is much like the clubs here in the city that hire doormen to stand behind velvets rope while there are only 30 people inside, yet people are more than willing to wait and pay the high cover because you see the line and think you're missing out on something. The do better at the end of the night than if they would have an open door policy.

Well, I've committed myself to wait for the 2004 and if the price goes up so be it. My bet is that while the H2 can command $60K, I bet they'll keep the price about where it is and charge for a nice premium for the higher horsepower engine and other luxury options.
