Think there is a similar phenomenon with the Lexus LFA, two years after production ceased and they still couldn't sell them.

I'm also curious as to how it will sell.

Perhaps the sales will be modeled similar to the Ford GT. A true Halo vehicle to simply make a statement. Very costly, low production, but demand will see everyone that's built, sells.

But not every halo vehicle is a sales success like the GT. The Lexus LFA may have suffered from it's $375,000 cost as well as the non-prestige issue. They built 500, production ceased in 2012 and two years later there were still unsold ones.

Exactly - the old adage the "Build it and they will come" does not apply to all cars.

That's because the LFA didn't have cupholders.
