Default Only know about one buyer

I like the way it looks and the fun that I have driving it. The most fun I have had in a moving car.

Probably not a good value compared to some other sports cars but the only other ones that had that emotional appeal for me were much more expensive.

I bought it because it makes me happy. Ambivalence about the looks of the running lights, the stiff ride, and the noise has been replaced by affection and I now only notice the fun. She looks better every day.

I don't know why they don't sell more, but then I don't drink the same wine, read the same books, or listen to the same music as most people so that isn't surprising. Nissans problem. I think it is likely a price issue. I also think that they are losing sales to the American muscle cars because of their appeal to nostalgia. I wonder if that isn't a marketing failure given the deep history. Hard to get nostalgic about the 70's though, even if you did graduate high school then.
