Why did you get so hot in your reply to him?
Read your second line above- "products that the public wants to own..." if
enough people aren't interested in this high-end manual system, then it's not
profitable. Period. To expect a business to keep offering a profit losing line
(and I'm NOT saying the OMs are that, with or without company support) is not
a reasonable expectation.
I feel very passionately about my 1974 Volkswagen Beetle, but I also
understood the need to end it's production run when people were no longer
interested in buying them.
Take a chill pill,
