You buy a 2002 honda.

8 years later...

A new 2010 honda appears on the scene***

I buy a 2010 honda

1 week later

Honda replaces my 2010 honda with the 2011 honda for the same price and without warning and with no way to refund or upgrade to the new honda.

People are mad that Honda replaced the brand new available 2010 honda with absolutely no warning with a better mode after only 1 week on market.

People complain.

Honda gives a sum of money back to the consumer to be used towards the 2011 model, it is 1 amount to everyone. 4000$ to be exact. Some people bought 700$ cars. Some bought 20000$ cars. Everyone only gets 4000$.

People who bought the 2002 car are not a part at all of any point of this scenario.
