I don't believe this at all. I followed the Maverick for a while when it came out, not for me, but interesting strategy. The vast majority wanted the baseline, barebones. However, Ford produced the least of these, and gave people 1 year lag times. Most people who bought higher models did so begrudgingly. Yet Ford will claim higher sales on these upper models, so obviously "what the consumer wanted."
