Pete, Ernie, and anyone else who found my poll's wording confusing and/or misleading, Please accept my apology, for I can assure you that was not my intention.
It's important to understand that the primary purpose of the poll was not to determine who would purchase the JBL the way it's currently packaged, but rather who would purchase the car for the stated price if it was available with a classic style body "instead" of JBL's proprietary roadster body.
Pete - I offered two distinct options which were intended in no way to state the same thing twice, or to generate the outcome that I wanted. You either would buy the car with a classic body for the stated price (option #1)or you wouldn't (option #2). I'm not sure I could have clarified it any better. The poll intentionally doesn't offer a 3rd option for those who would purchase the JBL "as is" because, as I stated above, that statistic was irrelevant to the poll's purpose. As far as thoroughly eliminating price from the equation goes, I did that in the poll by making all purchase options equal to $42,000. Even if I had provided your suggested 3rd option, I fail to see how it would have affected the price factor given the fact that JBL's web site lists their current "turn-key minus" for $42,500...just $500 more than the price stated in the poll. I hardly think that a mere $500 would sway most buyers in any given direction. If it did, it would probably indicate that they were already straddling the fence in the first place.

I hope this helps to clarify things. I'll attempt to word any future polls that I post in such a manner as to reduce the possibility of any misunderstandings.
To all who responded - thanks for the feed back guys,
