Ford concedes XR8 not worth $52,000 - BFII $6K cheaper

[VZSS250]

It appears that Ford has conceded that it was ripping off its customers by selling its flagship performance sedan for $52,000 RRP. The price slash of greater than $6,000 for BFII is testimony that the XR8 has been overpriced since at least 2002, when the BA arrived to clean up the mess left by the AU.

The move comes in response to the bargain $45k sticker on the VE SS, which is equivalent to the VZ SV8 in terms of equipment levels. The XR8 was deemed unable to compete against the VZ SS's replacement, the VE SS-V, which was similarly priced to the XR8 before the shock price cut was announced by a red faced Ford.

Further, the price cut illustrate's Ford's incredible laziness, for they preferred to devalue the XR8, rather than develop it into something as equally good as its traditional rival. And why? Probably because they can't see any money in doing something like that.

And so die hard Ford V8 customers have once again been let down by Ford. This company has displayed absolute contempt for its customers and the resale values of XR8s.
