- material quality
- power
- handling
- efficiency
- prestige/image
- technology
- doors
- roof design
- lighting
- colors
- weight
- practicality
- curb appeal
- etc.
You are assuming that everyone's idea is the same "mix" of the above that you do. All you're really confirming is that this doesn't appear to be the car for people like and people who think like you, and that's 100% fair - you just need to understand the limitations of that statement.

Thats why I said this is a niche market. I didnt assume everyone was like me, I assumed the majority would not buy it since they will either not be able to afford it or not be able to justify or see the value in it.

You're comparing a hand built Italian super car to an 8 series? they are not only in different leagues, but from different planets.
If people complained about the performance of the F80's for the price and compared them to cars (Porsche, for example) twice the price (literally), imagine when the fully loaded M8 is released for over $160k USD BEFORE Tax.
Point being, car looks great and sounds great in theory, but as someone stated earlier, it will be an emotional buy and they will be as abundant as a brand new S65.
