Paul, you don't move beyond a design by selling the old car alongside the new one. The "expensive" lesson was to stand behind the new design, instead of hamstringing it. Ernst Fuhrmann (sp?) got screwed on that deal because the Porsche family wanted the 911 kept on since a family member designed it. If Porsche had done the same crap to the 911 at its launch and kept the 356 going, it wouldn't have survived either.
