I agree with the rest of your list but there are very few garage queen, week end toy only Twins. Unlike your examples most are already daily driven and therefore already in view. There is no mass exodus from garages with the Twins and never will be since the price point put the target market in the seat from day one and that target market is driving them all the time. The simple reason we see more on the roads is that they are making more not some convoluted scheme where they have all been hidden and now show up because they are cheaper.

I drive mine about every clear day now.

I don't get any attention here in San Jose with mine.

When I first bought mine, i would occasionally get asked about it by people (usually guys) who just wanted to know what it was. Four years in and it seems to attract more attention now than it did new.
