I just roll my eyes when I see people on forums say "well dang why doesnt dodge run a 10 speed road ranger, that would be awesome and would sell like hot cakes!" or "why doesnt GM offer two option packages, solid front axle, and IFS, then people could choose which one they want and it would make the GM pickups much more popular" or "Ford should offer the DT466 in the F-350's, that would be awesome, it would sell soooo well!"


its about the masses and sales numbers, its not about "us"
