SVT - how would they know to care or not if all the performance and review data just came out today? prior to this there were just a couple headline numbers. Now we know the car is the best in its segment by quite a margin and various dimensions (looks being the one aside).
My original point did not come across correctly - I think the RS is a good car, but the TIMING of the deliveries for those that took them was poor. Personally I know that when I spend that kind of money I need to be fully informed of all the possible alternatives, otherwise there is a risk (like what happened here) that I may get blindsided by a better product.
For example, if I had bought my 458 last week I would be pretty disturbed, unless I am just some kind of ferrari (or porsche) sycophant.

I am fully aware there are plenty of people that can afford many cars. Doesn't change the fact that if you have worked for your money (rather than hit the luck lottery or inherited it) then you shouldn't like to see it wasted. What is sad about people that can afford one or more of these cars is that they sometimes do not actually know how to investigate whether they are getting what they are paying for, and will pay whatever is asked for anything with a good marketing ploy. Thankfully when competition emerges that shows you how much more can be done with the same $, a sharp spotlight is cast on the impostors.
Thats my gripe.

I just don't understand these trolls any more.
If you are going to make up a story, say you own a damn 360 like me.
Someone might just believe you.
Why does it always have to be a K'Segg or a 458 or the Space Shuttle??
If you are as committed as this guy, at least tell decent lies.

When I bought the V12 Vantage. I didn't know AM were planning to bring out the V8 "S" version with the same bumpers and side skirts as the V12, 2 years down the line. Was a I a little disturbed about that? Yes, of course, but who cares - sell it and move on if it bugs someone that much. At the end of the day they need to run a business. You are being totally unrealistic requesting that the dealer should inform you of every single new release that is coming, when it has nothing to do within their own marque.
Sit back, relax and a proper introduction will get you a far warmer welcome to the team.
