Nearly $100,000 for a Ford pickup?

They need to fire some people.

The program manager probably has already been fired.

Why would you fire people who are savvy enough to get idiots to part with almost $100,000 for a pickup truck? I think they're geniuses who deserve a bonus.

Marketing folks love to think their product is a Veblen good (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good).
