No doubt it's the price. I remember when this forum first opened up and so many of the participants couldn't wait to buy their SSR's. Then, when the true pricing was announced, most of the younger crowd realized that there was no way they could afford this vehicle. The average age of the people that post at this site now is much older than back in the old days.
I, for one, feel like I can identify with the interests of most of the folks that post here, and look forward to learning something new each time I visit.
