New product launch?

Advantages for purchase in 2016?  Just had an interesting conversation with a local dealer here in Vancouver.  All this news is also new to the dealer network but it appears that the upgrade price for the 400's is CAN $10127 and $6747 if your unit was purchased in 2016.  The upgrade is initiated and handled by the dealer.  They will realize some revenue from the transaction so are willing to demo the new series if you brought in the earlier series for comparison.  (When they have new in stock). He didn't say as much but I heard a level of disappoinment with the new pricing tier and the cost for the upgrade.  He had expected it to be a far less expensive upgrade.  I also gleamed a certain hesitation and concern with marketing the Expert line at the new price points and that they may be evaluating whether to move forward with the product.  This is all conjecture on my part as his enthusiasm for the sonics were clearly evident.  Obviously a music lover.
The $10127 CAN is a $1400 increase over the EUR 5990 price quoted in the email so it is clear the national distributor and local dealership take a bite out of it as well.  We're fodder for the mill.

So the 3490EUR for the D200 is $5200 CDN.  Tack on about $700 at least more for the distributor and or dealership.  $6000.  Add taxes.

Youza!

5,990EUR for D-P's to 1000Pro is $8,750AUD. I've been quoted $22,000AUD for the upgrade from local dealer (nearly 150% uplift), so if you think they're getting it bad in Canada try over here in Oz.

Hi mate,

It's possible that the dealer accidentally doubled the upgrade price for 2 D-Prems mistakenly? $11k sounds more like it?

Will find out tonight.
