Every other dealer has their flagship sports cars just sitting on the lots (Mustangs, Miatas, GTI's etc.) collecting dust.

The thing I'm most worried about is long term how they keep the car "fresh" which in this day and age means bloat, guess it'll just make the first generation more valuable in the long run.
have to keep in mind, the car fits a limited market.it has limited practicality to it. no one can predict the future,but if i was a betting man,i don't believe it will do well over time,simply because it costs too much to buy.now some will argue that it is a bargain at $25,000.00,however in this economy,it's still a chunk of change,and because only certain people will chase this car used,it will have to drop in value a lot for those people to afford one used.
the fact it is a specialized sports car may help it some,but not enough to make a real difference over time in my view. just sayin'
