This is probably the most accurate comment about the car I have read in recent memory.

I wanted to support this concept which is one of the reasons I bought the car. By spending the money on their experiment, we are saying we want more cars like this.

The thing is they knew full well they were testing the market, which is why we are seeing the car so half baked. They filled the niche but stopped short of going all out.

So my hope is we will see the next generation become a more complete car or see other manufacturers make a competitive model that is better.
