And it's that simplistic attitude that guarantees that car manufactures won't build the cars they easily could:
  • An M2 with an M4 motor should cost thousands less to build than an M4 but be faster.
  • A Cayman with a 3.8 S or GT3 motor should be a budget supercar.
  • A VW R with the Audi 5 cylinder would be a budget GT-R.

It's because price has nothing to do with cost :-)
