Lower production numbers each year and increase in price each year to increase the prestige of the model... When ANY company does this, they are basically doing market research, nothing else.

That might be ture, but it still does not justify your comment of it being a failure.

Ever notice how car makers make these really bad-a$$ cars with lots o' power and so-so gas mileage just in time for an energy crisis to put the price of gas through the roof? Then, everybody goes, "Oh ****, I need a more affordable ride." So, they trade-in their nice cars for econoboxii. Eventually, things get better and they step up to another nice car and... the cycle starts over again.
