The bit  about 16-valve engines kind of stuck in my teeth though:

"It’s not that we don’t know how to make a 16-valve engine,” replied  a
senior program manager, “but it would add $62 to the cost  and most of
our buyers wouldn’t notice the  difference."




As I recall, the 1975 Cosworth Vega (16 valves) was a bit more than a  $62 
increase over the Vega GT. The list price was $5,916 - One Vega for the  price 
of Two - What a deal! Not sure if the non-buyers noticed the 16 valves,  they 
noticed the difference in price  - and ran!
