C63 buyers won't be phased or deterred by the fact an E300 is the more sensible choice.
It's why I don't think the Raptor should be compared to the Ram because the Raptor V8 would be a one-off, limited run, and it's exclusivity will mean Ford won't have issues selling every one of them.

Agreed, I think people are missing my point here, be it by mistake or by choice.
As I said earlier, a V8 raptor is a great idea, it will sell and will provide work for a workforce, no argument from me there.
My intention wasn't to compare it to the RAM, I was simply saying that if its a simple case of having a V8 equipped ute, then the RAM does it for a lot less, but this isn't about just a V8 ute, its about giving a certain number of Ford fans what they desire.
Im simply asking why is it suddenly ok to offer a ute at a huge premium when the same argument couldn't be had for a sportscar if all its about is giving a fan base something they want.
Nothing more, nothing less.
