If you lease them, they stay within warranty and you don’t really have to care about minor scuffs or dings. The crowd that wants these cars likes having new things so they probably aren’t too concerned about long term maintenance or the actual price tag.

That’s why GM and Ford left 2 door coupes in the late 90's. They weren’t prestigious enough to be proper “personal luxury coupes”
