Well I'd quibble a bit with you there. Many performance cars have returned to the old muscle car formula - big naturally aspirated V8s (Audi S class, BMW M class, MB AMGs). All of them have dumped turbo and super chargers for their catalog models. The changes you see in cars these days is more technology than performance innovation (iDrive, adjustable suspension, etc) but there is a bit of engine technology there. The real change has been in after market performance parts - you can buy upgrade kits for just about every performance car. Still, that's not really innovation, just more products. So I'd say it's luxury cars that drive innovation, rather than performance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168764 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
