Phunkdoktaspok, bro , I am going to leave it here, I do not want to enter into ludicrous arguments. I will ask you to read my previous response, you ask about the sook, I explained why I consider that move wrong and counterproductive.

I am going to add that every and any successful venture has obligations towards its followers. Be it a successful Australian Football team, Rugby Team , Auto maker company, even institutions like schools, universities.....any entity that has a following has a responsability towards those followers.
Yes, you are right about being business and the " so what" complexion of your position , but in business there is what is called customer base. That is a precious item , invaluable and cherished.
Many new companies would pay billions to have what older established companies have in this regard . Have you seen a Hyundae fan club?? probably there is one...but we can count its members with one hand. Even if they wanted to, a museum of Hyundaes would look tacky and useless. Like good wine, some things need time to become classy and to have weight and substance.
An Australian Rugby team getting rid of a star player, hiring a dorky useless player or changing the look of its stadium or team logo would have repercussions. Yes, the team Owner can do as he wishes, but there is a responsability he has towards his followers and if he disregards it , he will have to face a negative backlash.
The actions of Nissan's CEO are regretable, even though there is people that do not care about what happened to those cars, there are millions that do care about it. If the CEO of Nissan destroys these cars, and yes, he destroys... ( not even giving those cars away to known enthusiasts or museums/organizations, but crushed the patrimony of Datsun followers, the traditional and institutional patrimony ) ....these vehicles, what is the message Nissan is giving Datsun and Nissan followers...." Do not follow us, do not bother restoring or keeping up your older vehicles, we think our vehicles are scrap , worthless...all we care is to make a new car and we want you to buy the new car..."
We all look for revenue....but one thing is to be a pig and scavenge for money, another thing is to have class and become an institution with a following crowd.
I think we will not be able to communicate if not willing to give it a time to appreciate the concept of institution, the concept of responsability to followers, and the concept of customer loyalty which is not about loyalty in a superficial way, but it means millions in loyal customes buying the brand. Perhaps these concepts are irrelevant to you , but regardless , these are very important and real concepts.

late....
