SYNC now being proven to sell more cars

I had previously written a post about Freep.com naming the Microsoft/Ford Sync as the best new gadget of the year. As the Detroit Free News put it, it's the "best 395.00 option out there". And now, the sales numbers are starting to back up the marketing plan of Ford in putting it in lower end vehicles instead of the luxury models.

Ford has reported that cars equipped with Sync are already doubling sales for those cars without Sync--and that's not just because of the difference in price. Evidently it's one of the most talked about things with Ford dealers--and the joke is that those individuals who won't spend a dollar more on power locks demand to get a SYNC. I guess it's all relative, eh?

Of course, just like with people rushing out to get the IPHONE, this is something that people need to consider that v2.0 is shortly coming out, and will be featured at next month's Consumer Electronics show. For all of the bugs that seem to be crawling out of this, 2.0 is certainly bound to be better performance-wise. But, gotta keep up with the Joneses? Right?? Hello??? Is this thing on???
