Sports cars are image cars, not known to be massively profitable.
Tell that to Porsche, they are reported to have the highest margins in the business outside of real exotics.

Of course these days an increasing percentage of their profits and volume are coming from their SUVs.

A place your arm rests a lot
You arms shouldn't be on the supposed "arm rest" while you're driving anyway since both hands are meant to be on the steering wheel (except when briefly taking one off to change gear). Anyone driving while leaning over to be able to rest one arm on top of that centre cubbyhole lid is a bad, lazy driver that shouldn't be on the road ... or they've got orangutan length arms.

It's the same with the fools who complained about the Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ not having an "arm rest" there (so some silly company came up with an add-on to "fix" it). :rolleyes:

Yeah, the Number One Porsche vehicle?

In full calendar year 2021, Porsche increased car sales in the US by 22% to a record 70,025 vehicles deliveries. The most popular Porsche models in the USA in 2021 were again the Macan and the Cayenne SUVs. The 911 remained the top-selling Porsche sports car with sales just ahead of the all-electric Porsche Taycan that more than doubled sales in the US in 2021.

Honestly, I don't even know why anyone is still waiting on pricing considering these things aren't going to sell for anywhere near MSRP anyway. I don't don't believe a base model will be under 50k when these show up. We all know the games these dealers play.

^ Nope. I just don't like being on the road with dangerous idiots. If they kill themselves, then that's great, but too often they kill other innocent people. :( If you can't be bothered to drive properly, then get off the road!

I would suggest not driving at all. By your definition I would guess upwards of 90% don’t drive by your standards. I would further suggest not crossing streets or riding busses.
