all of these are really good observations. and all contribute to the why it failed. broken down, too expensive, not true sports but more than just a Vega, two seater in at least a 2+2 market, internal thumb nosing and politics, lots of stuff. technically the car doesn't bother me a bit because it's solid, is a performer, and is different enough to be enjoyable to own. Would I have paid 40k for the car? Not a prayer. It doesn't have that price to value positive relationship to me. On the other hand the price it's at now? Oh yeah, big time way positive. Wew're winners all in all as far as I'm concerned. You want a performance car then pony and pay for one. this is as much performance car as I need.
