Value? (What you get for the money you spent) is purely subjective.
Resale? You win.
Gas mileage? You win.
Cup holders? You win.
Seating capacity? You win
Practicality? You win.
Cuteness? You win.
Beauty? We win.
Scarcity, unique? We win.
Having a 2 seat sports car? PRICELESS!
It rides great at high speeds and I assure you that the Mini Cooper S handles MUCH better than a Crossfire.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so No you don't win.
