It's not even overpriced. They're going to sell every one of them that they make.
I just can't wrap my head around buying a car that costs $100k. I can't even wrap my head around buying a car that costs $50k. The most expensive vehicle I've ever purchased is my truck, which was just under $40k, which I know is nothing for some of you folks, but that alone made me anxious. |

Ultra hi-po street cars don't give me jollies anymore. I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but it was around the time I sold my E36 M3, which realistically was fast enough, organic enough, cheap enough and comfortable enough to be pretty much perfect as a daily driver. It just took me fifteen years of (relatively) expensive cars to realize it.

Plus the thing about the GT4 is that the depreciation is going to be pretty gentle. Total cost of ownership on this thing isn't going to be what you'd expect for a 100K car. Buy one with a stick and I bet you can sell it in 3 years for not too far off what you paid for it. |

Over the past 20 years or so, what I've spent on cars has mostly trended downward in that-year dollars. The 325xiT I bought in December 2001 is the only one to have busted $30k. <shrug>
