It's a sad fact indeed but not uncommon in pretty much every marque I know of. Take our common or garden Vauxhalls; my particular car is now quite rare (especially in the colour/trim combination) and so instead of selling a health car on a lot of people are parting them as more money is to be made. Very sad indeed. > Flopsy had a lucky escape from such a fate. Due to the extensive > panel and interior damage I'm sure she would have been scrapped if > she remained in the USA.
