I've responded to Doug, who did say what he says he said, off-list. I no
longer take responsibility for keeping this thread going. :-)

Actually I did, B.D.  You used this fact to bolster your opinion that the
line

fact to suggest that a revised R body was a good idea.  Do you recall what
happened to R sales when the R8 was introduced?  Up, substantially.
