Seems like they are playing it conservatively with their marketing strategy, which makes me think there may be a new car soon. I understand why some don't like the term "band aid" as the Centro does perform well, but in any case it looks like the Centro is simply buying AE some time.
I do not pretend to know anything. It really is just my opinion. I FEEL that it was a bandaid because they did not have a competitive car coming into the Worlds. Everyone else had a MM option and AE did not. You can't have a couple of the top drivers in the world not be competitive so "it feels" like they scrambled to find a company to help them with a MM option.
Like others have said also I do not think AE would ever sell something that comes in 2 separate boxes. Having said that if the top guys really like the Centro then maybe AE does some sort of deal with them but they are not going to sell it as a Centro, it will be named something.
AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION and an uneducated one at that so there is no reason to starting yelling at me. You might hurt my feelings.
