If the idea is that this car will build brand excitement, resulting in sales of other vehicles, I don't see that happening.
I think a lot of us have a misconception on what demand will really be. True there is a lot of excitement around this car, but let's face it, this is not a practical car, and is never going to see the kind of sales numbers like the Impreza, or Forester.
