In other words, don't think that Steve didn't have anything to do with the 302E when the foundation and the plans were already established, because that's not the case.
I agree, the time in between Steve's departure and the release of the 302E lineup would support this statement. From Concept to Dealer doesn't just happen over night in the auto industry, it is thought out far in advance...
