The 100-200 grand sports car market is getting crowded. We have the revamped R8, the NSX, the GT S, i8 and various Porsches. I wonder if there is enough customers for them all

  ...it's an interesting market: once the price point reaches a certain threshhold, while the customer base becomes much more limited, a *lot* of those same customers happily buy several examples of different cars offered to their market, as a stable... ...gotta catch 'em all!..

While I can appreciate McLarens for what they are, the front ends are just uggh (just based on aesthetics, would rather have a Koenigsegg).

  god knows i agree with you but you are comparing a 911 fighter to a $1 mil.+ hypercar I think to me, a McLaren is a bit special compared to a mere 911 or even the new AMG GT everyone out there has a Porsche or Mercedes or an Audi R8 it takes a special masochist to buy a McLaren

MaintenanceCosts I wish more vehicles in our market would be at or under 70" wide. Narrowness makes everything easier in the city.

You're refueling while you're sleeping.My condo association is allowing owners to install chargers. You have to pay all of the owners of the parking spaces the new electric service will cross. Suggested fee is 100$ and the one getting a charger pays all the legal and filing fees. I held out for a bottle of 30 year old single malt.Perhaps high end apartments will feature reserved parking spaces with chargers in the future. Until then non home owners are relying on public charge and one of my neighbors is in IT and he charges at work. It's call a perk.I don't see company owned delivery vehicles that are EV's. The USPS and the smiley boxes should be the 1st to do this. Nor are any of our mega car dealerships doing this and but of course advertising this fact.I think a great many of the EV haters haven't came to the self-actualization that no one really cares what you drive. I can respect and appreciate what you drive but if I was pushed to answer, no I really don't care what you drive. Before everyone goes into umbrage over my last sentence, I still like cars. Especially yours.I have heated tiles in my bathroom and my kitchen. The two places you're most likely to be barefoot. An EV may fall into to the one less thing to mess with for many people.Macallan for those who were wondering.
EBFlex The way things look in the next 5-10 years no. There are no breakthroughs in battery technology coming, the charging infrastructure is essentially nonexistent, and the price of entry is still way too high.As soon as an EV can meet the bar set by ICE in range, refueling times, and price it will take off.
