You're exactly right. The middle class is taking a breather until the economy reestablishes some feeling of safety and predictability. Once that happens I wouldn't be surprised to see more affordable offerings. In the mean time we're not going to build something for which there is no sound business case. That truly would lead to our demise

[quote user="mawheele"] [quote user="TripEnglish"]I think that there's an experience deficit in some of these responses. If things were this easy I would be right there on the bandwagon.

With all the wood & leather tones it would compliment it seems more natural than some of the more "exotic" colors we've had over the years.
