Exactly!When you get into these kinds of cars,performance variances are minimal.Who cares if one car is a tenth or two faster to 60MPH or whatever.A big part of the allure is the exclusivity.If I had a choice of seeing a Ferrari(save an Enzo or F40/50,of course),GTR or LFA in a parking lot,I'll take the LFA,just because I've never seen one before.I'm sure there's a lot of appeal to that for prospective buyers.In cities where exotic cars are much easier to spot than Roanoke,you're still not going to see a lot of LFAs,while you'll see plenty of the Italian/Japanese cars.
