Many people spent more on SUV's and Trucks. If they made automatics there would no doubt be a lot more of them around. (Unless GM limited production to keep them rare) |
No...I'm just assuming an MSRP of a little less than $50,000. I wish I was in a situation to feel the same about vehicle prices as you!
According to NADA, in 2008 the average new vehicle price was around ~$28,000...so while there are many cars and SUVs that sticker for more...not everyone is rolling around in a loaded-to-the-gills $60,000 Tahoe.
There is a market size for the sporty-coupe segment...and there is a market within this market for extremely-high-performance sporty-coupes...and it is small. The sales "gained" by the offering of an automatic would probably be in the thousands...but I really don't consider than enough to worry about wide-spread ZL1s.....
