Yes, this.
"Dear Mr Prospective buyer, yes we will have new cars available in 2017 for $100k, but we can get you in this identical totally refurbished model today for only $57k"
Interestingly there were two nice cars at a Barrett Jackson auction this week, one with 12k miles and the other with about 7k. From the pictures, they looked very similar in condition. The 12k mile one sold on Monday for about $28k and the 7k one sold on Tuesday (the day of the big announcement) for $63k
No word on whether the seller of the second one was a Mr. S Wynne or a Mr. J Espey
(actually it wasn't, but the seller must have been very, very grateful to them for the timing)
