what does price have to do with naming?
I was implying that there are many many products where the manufacturer changes the model and keeps the same name. I used the 911 because it's very recognizable name, but your Mini is using the same name as the one that was produced in 1961 and you definitely can't use the same accessories, not even the same gas.
but wait, I'm also going to argue the opposite right here in the same comment: Leica has been making the M cameras since 1954 and they use numbers, sometimes with suffixes just like the S in 4S (M3, M4, M4P, M5). they even went backwards with the M2 released after the M3, and they all use exactly the same lenses and accessories.
my point? it's an entirely pointless discussion trying to rationalize which is more correct or more wrong: companies have been doing both for decades and both have been successful.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoI see, you're arguing that the approach doesn't matter. I think anyone who has tried to suss out which Intel chip to buy in the last few years would like to have a word with you. Some approaches are better than others. And: pointless discussions are the only kind we have here. So why complain about it?
- micampe 14y agonot complaining, adding my opinion, since I saw a lot of people arguing against each other and nobody had the same opinion I had, that the naming doesn't matter that much.
