avus17:I think there are not so many rich people that would buy enough from B&O. It is the same with Audi, middle range sels, expensice cars only at the beginning, then this cars only stay on stock. I think B&O politics is therefore wrong.
The big difference is that many UK employees get some kind of car allowance that they can put towards an Audi. Even low-end sales people at my publisher are given an Audi A3 as part of their role, even though the car is worth far more than their yearly wage.
Hardly anyone gets an allowance to buy B&O kit :)
Yes, the Virtuosso card helps, but you need a very good personal credit rating to get the card in the first place and, one thing is happening in the UK, is that credit issuers are being far more strict about who gets their money...
