Market competition. It's easy to think "money" and that's certainly part if it, but if your product underperforms in the marketplace, you suffer and your dedicated dealers suffer. They must've seen a big change because they're working through B5r's still ("limited" edition with "m" conversion), which means they over forecasted that platform.

The run the B4 & xxx had were an exception, not the rule. It's easy to be caught behind the 8-ball after a run like that.
