Yes - but that kinda proves the point: the enthusiasts (ie. Club4AG folk) who will put their money where their mouths are, simply exist in too small a quantity.
The broader casual enthusiast world (think Jalopnik readers) talk good game about buying a light weight, focused (read: spartan or uncompromising) sports car, but when push comes to shove, look for excuses to back out.

Hence why Nissan bailed on the iDX, Kia the Stinger coupe (the original yellow one), and Chevy the 130R.
