I would like to make aware that no matter how reputable, well designed, or well built products automotive manufacturers produce; it may not be enough to become a succesfull bread and butter winner that sells itself to bring in windfall profits for the automotive manufacturer and dealers.

Automotive dealer(s) may build a strong costly sales force backed by manufacturer and dealer(s) expensive advertisement campaigns(to move product); but this also doesn't gurantee windfall profits for manufacturers and dealers.

In the past outside independant automotive businesses has helped increase manufacturers and dealers sales to meet windfall profits whether independant businesses approached automotive manufacturer or automotive manufacturer approached to independant businesses. STATISTICALLY A VEHICLE MODEL WILL SELL ITSELF IF THAT VEHICLE CONSISTANTLY HAS A WINNING STREAK YEAR AFTER YEAR(SUCCESSFUL RACING CAREER) or a automotive designer is a household name.
