Why artificially want to limit supply?

I don't care if I "see it all around". I like the way the car looks so don't mind seeing others in it on my drive to work. I also want others to be happy as well.


Tranz, I love your thinking. I also don't care if they make 100k a year for the world. It won't be 100k of them every year. I bet in 5 years they would've only made 300k copies for the whole world. A mustang/camaro will sell 400k copies each in America alone within 5 years equaling 800k cars while the FRS/BRZ will sell less than a 100k copies in America in 5 years. That means for every 8 Mustangs and 8 Camaros there will be 1 FRS and 1 BRZ in the same area. I like those odds better and it's better for the aftermarket tuners.
