All this to say, demand is going to be negatively affected by the current financial market condition, just a matter if it's enough to lower demand enough to make them more accessible than 2022. And this is assuming there is going to be a market down turn at all. No one have a crystal ball.

The standard 3 years parts contracts have very few escape clauses but if there continue to be worldwide emergencies every few months then the few that there are could bee put into play and the car simply dropped. This of course is a very extreme scenario.

And history have proofed that plenty of sportscar projects/models were cancelled because of market conditions. But again, I doubt this will be the case with the Gen2 twins because of it's age in the model life cycle. Tooling/R&D investment costs are sunk at this time so they will just keep making them for the interim. But if the market down turn/recession persists or gets worse, you might see a shorter product life cycle as originally planned. I am actually surprised they killed off the STi to focus on electrification.

I'll be driving mine in every snow storm I can. Like jvincent said, cars like this are great in the snow with the right tires.
The inconvenience to me will be that I immediately have to get a set of winter wheels/tires instead of having a few months on the summer tires. |

Because of when I took delivery my FRS that I traded in had winters on it. So I very carefully drove from the dealer to my tire guy, about 2km, and put the winters on the OEM 18" wheels.

it's great driving in snow in the car, and a whole lot of fun driving the truck through mud. i don't deny that. but i end up paying for it with extreme maintenance. bolts no longer just 'rust'. they become 1-time-use rivets. i plan brake jobs to take all day. it usually takes longer. so the car stays inside for winter, really just to make it last longer, and because i still mostly enjoy tinkering/wrenching on it, and exposing it to the chicagoland salt flats would just make it another car.

That's about my stance on this. I only avoid using it on snow days for the reason of salt and the need to then clean it off all around and underneath the car ASAP afterwards. At least that's how I would care for it in that situation as I'm a bit of a neat freak with it. But if the roads didn't get salted like they do around here, the snow wouldn't deter me one bit.
Ever since we had a pretty major storm several years ago that was not very expected and the roads weren't prepped, our county takes extra measure to salt the hell out of the roads a day or two before a quarter inch of snow is coming. |
