I agree with you.
But for people who like trucks (or more specifically someone willing to pay 50 or 100 large for what is basically just an old truck), they think the exact same thing about a Porsche 993.
The 7.3 Powerstroke, as much as I hate it, was the pinnacle of Ford diesels for a long time because the engines that succeeded it (6.0 and 6.4) were unreliable turds.
The 993 comparison is apt here, too, because the 996 (and to some degree the 997.1) was a letdown in comparison.
