Conjecture
A fine product that contradicts what a firm is known for fails; rivals who put luxury under a new name succeeded.
The claim
An excellent product that contradicts what an organisation is known to believe fails where a weaker one that fits would sell. The case offered: a carmaker known for affordable cars launched a luxury model that critics praised and few bought, while two rivals with similar reputations launched luxury lines under new brands and succeeded. Repeated off-cause moves blur the why until it no longer inspires.
