Just Opera
: this answer is the closest, but would reword it something like: 'We have made full use of the reputation of the range'. 'Capital confiance' being more the reputation the range has in the marketplace and avoid use of 'consumer' as a boat is a luxury item.

We have exploited consumer confidence in this line (of products) to the utmost
Hello,
This is how I read it.
It is a little tricky to figure out a good translation in English here.
How long can we exploit consumer confidence? Is the thrust for new product development and new product launches simply a response to the ...

Hello. But "exploit" refers to "consumer confidence", not to actual people

we went all out for the customers' trust in the product line
A slighly different understanding of the sentence could be rendered by: we went all out for the assets of the range.

Client confidence in the range makes us proud to announce a new addition to the family, featuring :
"Nous avons joué à fond sur le capital confiance de la gamme".
A matter of degree probably. The use of "à fond" suggest a fairly chatty style. Here are a few sugegstions, some of which are not really translations per se, even departures from the original, rather what simply might be noted instead to get the same message across :
"Making the most of the confidence gained to date, the range includes :..."
"Trusting in the success of the range to date, we..."
"Encouraged by our client's confidence in the range, we..."
"Based on client confidence to date, the new addition to the family includes :..."

Note from asker:
| Although I agree with your point on not always having to keep to a 'We' structure, I felt that your choices didn't really get the message across, which is why I chose Polyglot's answer. These features are capital to range. Thanks though, it's always good to see a different take on a sentence like this. :-) |
