Great car...no question. But...not everyone wants or can afford a Cadillac. That's why GM also makes Chevys, Pontiacs, etc.Honda made a great motorcycle called the Goldwing. Started with the 1000cc, went to an 1100cc, then 1200 and then the 1500. But Honda stopped making the 1100 and the 1200. Why? Not everyone wants or can afford the more expensive 1500. There was nothing wrong with the 1100 or 1200...so why discontinue making them? Surely there's still a market for the smaller displacement Goldwings. Well, it's the same with me about camera models. Nothing wrong with the D200, the D300, the D7000, or even the D7100. All great cameras, that do what they're supposed to do. Oh sure, there were upgrades to the sensors, and some other bells and whistles, and blah blah blah. I still think there's a market for those cameras, and to discontinue them because a newer model comes online with the latest and greatest, does a disservice to the buying public.I'm well aware of marketing pressures and such; I'm just not convinced that it's necessary to always be "upgrading" a product (no matter what it is) all the time. And there's a big difference between improving something and changing something just for the sake of changing.Hopefully y'all understood what I rambled on about here. Rant over.</blockquote>
