Dumping product can mean several things not just a new model but is the company going out of business, being taken over for another, I think in the long term it also damages customer brand loyalty, there is nothing worse than turning up with a new car only to hear a newer one has been released or the price you have just paid has been chopped by 50%.
Agree!
And good way to finish the post off after above feedback
They never have liked to give too much away though until the day it's out and everyone loses money
Honesty best way
