Very well said, and something a lot of people tend to forget. Same thing applied to our Aussie muscle cars, they had very humble origins and the money was spent on engines and styling, which is what sold cars.It's all economies of scale. I was actually just thinking about this today-How amazing the GT350 is, but in order to make it affordable and obtainable to the avg person they had to make some compromises. It's not a luxury interior with aluminum and carbon fiber throughout. Mechanically they did some really great things, but had to draw a line somewhere. A lot of the S550 platform including from the A pillar back is shared off the same assembly line. If they had really pushed the details it would be a 6 figure car.
I'm just really grateful to own one and there is always after market stuff for things like pedals.
