Yeah that's my guess too, especially based on Dahon's pricing in recent years (and with the same materials and labor sources as the much lower-cost competitors). I think they may have destroyed their own market, at least at the lower end of their range. The Curl D9, if it folds as compactly as a Brompton, and has better features (wider gearing, all external, and discs), and with Dahon's known name, against the even more premium-priced Brompton, they might have a chance. If they were smart, they'd sell it for half versus a Brompton, but I doubt that, it'll probably be much closer to a Brompton 6.
