thats the right attitude to have if you are a member of the american public, and a consumer, however, Ford on the other hand, doesnt want you to buy the cheapest mustang. they want you to know the cheap one is there, but actually buy the more expensive one.
i think the sentiment of what im trying to say (and what consumers actually do) can be summed up by
this article from autoblog a little over a month ago. it talks about how of the 6000 new camaros that have been preordered, 84% of them are the V8. the V6 is cheaper, more fuel efficient, it looks the same, and its still fun to drive, yet 84% of us, when choosing a pony car, go for the one thats not cheap, just to say we have V8 american muscle- which is a great thing to be able to say if you have the money.
