Wonder if Cigarette will/would ever build a cat, or why they dont/wont in that case?

That's an interesting question.

My only thought would be that they sure have done fine with their current business model.

I hope not. The brand has so much identity from it's old days with old school V's piloted by offshore greats. You buy into that with a Cig, old/new, expensive/cheap. The company doesn't have that background with cats. It still blows me a away that they do a CC. It's kind of like a Porsche Cayenne. I'm sure they make $ on it, but is it really a Porsche?
