7 Stages of G5 Design Acceptance
Anticipation
- I can't wait to see the new model! Will it be incremental or a new generation? My uncle's son's friend's girlfriend works at BRP and she heard it will hover and not need a track.
Skepticism
- Its ugly, it costs too much, the screen is too big/small, there is not enough new about it, they didn't include feature X!
Denial
- I don't need it, the new features are not worth it, my G4 is fine, I will put the money into upgrading it.
Questioning
- Do I need this? Is it worth the money? Could it make my life better? Do I want to put money into my old sled?
Affirmation
- I need it! Where can I get it and for how much? I got it cheaper than everyone else!
Fanatic
- Everyone needs one, it's worth the money, I am joining all the fan groups and spreading the word! I don't know how others ride the old model, it was such poorly designed slug.
Post
-purchase anxiety - What did I get myself into, was this really worth it? How can I afford this? I wish I had my old trusty G4 back!
