I was a rock star for 24 hours in that jelly bean. Nowadays, it ain't shit. Dime a dozen. Now the I-Pace, for the moment, is new hotness. A year from now? Probably yawn city.
Newness definitely plays into the exclusivity rating, for sure. However, is something exotic just because its exclusive in that moment? I'm not sure newness or exclusivity alone are accurate measures of what constitutes an exotic. A 5 year old Gallardo, for instance? Still an exotic but by no means new, and probably many more in existence than the new iPace.
