That's a mistake on Oakley's part, not the collector market. They tried to cash in by tying in to a past design material that has a cult following and in the process pissed off quite a few people who saw it for what it was.Well the biggest problem it seems is that no one really accepts the fact that they are their own thing. If they made the same exact ones you guys would say they ran out of ideas. They took styling of the XS and the Mars and created something new, using the materials that are relavent to Oakley today. All of the people that complain about them were the first ones to be at the stores on the release date.
I don't agree, and that's fine. To me they aren't xmetal and any ties to the metals of the past is little more than marketing. Oakley made aluminum frames during the xmetal era, yet they weren't called xmetals. Why would today's aluminum frames be different?@digi7alph0enix :Well it's not Oakley's fault for releasing a "next chapter". That's like saying that the new F-150 is not an F-150 because they built it in a different material. If you haven't noticed Oakley holds its heritage very dear to the them, go to certain stores you find all sorts of cool artifacts they aren't trying to hurt the line. The fact is they are x metal. The warranty I certainly agree with you but at one point or another we have all had to deal with Oakley and 90% of the time they will try to get the part you need
It is their fault when they say it's an X-metal and it's clearly not. They made a Ford Ranger and called it a F-250. All the hype no delivery@digi7alph0enix :Well it's not Oakley's fault for releasing a "next chapter".

From my point of view that's a much better example. How would you feel buying an F250 turbo diesel, paying full F250 pricing, then discovering when you pop the hood it has the standard F150 powertrain? You'd be livid and you'd feel ripped off I'd imagine. That more or less describes how I think a lot of people view them.It is their fault when they say it's an X-metal and it's clearly not.

From now on OakleyForum will be known as CostaForum. Were still all about Oakleys and talking about Costa will be frowned upon. We're also going to host the server on a dial up connection. Premium membership will still cost the same.Badddddd example. They are the manufacture, they make the product, they name it, and that's what it is. You don't have to like it but that's what it is.
Ur right, I don't like it so I don't buy it. Sounds like u work for Oakley trying to make a case for them. But in this forum court, Oakley lost this battleBadddddd example.
