could maintain some degree of perceived exclusivity and exoticism that brands like Volkswagen or Kia or Honda or Volvo lack.

Lol slow news day? There are about a dozen of these for sale at any given time. Plenty with low miles, too. Not a hard car to find.

Lmao are you a time traveler from 2007? Fun memories though, shame it’s been like 10 years since that’s been in place.

Not very bold if it looks identical to the previous one.

In a perfect metaphor for the extreme lengths teams will go to competitively in NASCAR

B58 is available as a manual in a bunch of cars. Anything with a -40 designation post-2016.

Turbos were and are expensive (and finicky) AF. So many better options.
