How to Sell the 2007 RL (if you're GM)

Well, I was just thinking what i would do to make a stir with the car. Since they are getting rid of the Recaros, and it is the last year of the car and all.
I'd make the B&M shifter a stock component, and only offer cars in stage 1 or stage 2 trim (no base stock level), and install the GMPP exhaust manifold at the factory. I think the new horsepower ratings could be advertised with a tie-in to the cobalt ss/sc. Ideas?

Stick a big red "R" on the back. Those things will even make Peugots sell.

I think they will have to come up with a good insentive plan to sell these last few. I'm glad I got my '06 with the dark gray leather! hehe

Incentives are bad. Price it right and make a statement with the new HP/torque numbers. Good publicity agains the Civic SI, too.

I can deal with out the RECAROS but the car needs to be coming out of the factory pushing 320 WHP also make it AWD with a six speed tranny but that would jack the price up some. but keep it well under 30 grand. I knowe wishfull thinking huh.
