People are the same everywhere when it comes to bad news, and the opinions on this subject prove it. Even if there are no real facts or reliable sources they still would believe a story that was posted on the net.

It's on the Internet. They can't put anything on the Internet unless it was true...... Bonjour.
One of the reasons why the CJs cost 100k now is help cover the all the background costs. Spreading it over 50 units instead of 200,000+ units price goes up. The CJ uses a lot of parts that are shared with rest of the factory line up so that helps with costs. Don't forget all the parts Ford Racing ends up selling because of these CJs that bolt directly to all the other Mustang models and other items in the FRPP book. There are many revenue streams from the front and the back. I'm sure everyone keeps a watchful eye on everything for their ROI.
