It is hard to understand the reasoning behind asking about $80-100k+ for a mobile unit and then have the problems that happen way too often with them.
Yes, we all think that the reputation gain from handling problem units with a 'replacement' unit would be tremendous, but apparently sales figures must not follow that thinking...if they began to lose sales, then they would do something about the production quality. But, it isn't to that point, I guess.
With my experience with my used '05 (all good) I would be terribly pissed to get a new one that did not come close to the old one. If more buyers would refuse delivery until the problems were solved; if the dealers would actually do a quality PDI; if the buyer did not have 'stars in eyes' over the appearance and head off down the road; then, maybe, we would see some improvement in production quality.
I don't know the real answer, but I ain't gonna be buying a new one unless I win the lottery.
