This is the commercial my son saw that prompted me to ask the question the other night.

What question was it? ( sorry. I know you've said it before. I just don't remember. )

I am thinkin of trying that with my car

The fun starts about a min into it...

I don't really get the hype of this car... There's some cool tech' in it, but for what it costs, I just couldn't rationalize choosing it over so many of the other choices out there.

When you are rich enough you don't usually care about rationale

I'll take the 3 ZR1s I can get for the price of one of these things, thanks.

There is a thread in this section I started last week and I asked why they limit production on cars. I used this car as an example.

Or the 7 SS Camaros.

Cool but kind of pretentious. I guess it's supposed to be an advertisement for the Lexus brand (no point in advertising for a $350K car where only a handful are being made) but I'd bet 90% of Lexus customers care only about comfort and value (and whether the car will stop when you press the brakes).

Because they can... It makes quite a statement about the company, its "status", and its clientele..."rational" or otherwise...

They've already sold all 500 before the first production version sees the light of day...and they had "letters of interest" from manymany more...

As was asked, previously, "If they only built 500 ZR1s, what would they fetch, price-wise"? Take the development cost$, add the new bits 'n pieces to an existing chassis, and divide by 500... Now, sell 'em...

It's like asking why a Rolex Executive costs $20-25Gs. Doesn't really matter, cuz they sell 'em out, anyway... NOT in the numbers Timex does, but Rolex doesn't compete with them...

BTW, PQ, why'd your wife get the Lexus?
