No doubt! Two different demographics.Oh I know. I autocross with the local Porsche Club. There’s actually a lot of debate even between them about prices.
But the fact is the vast majority of enthusiasts and especially the public will never care about those cars, because they’re seen as rich people toys. (to be fair that’s what they are).
The buyer of GT4RS and the buyer of an FL5 may both face a 50% markup. But the Porsche buyer has such a high income that an extra $100k is an inconvenience or an obstacle. Whereas for the average FL5 buyer an extra $22k is a life altering amount.
The average Porsche buyer pays the 100k and goes on the same vacations they planned anyway. The average FL5 buyer pays the 20k and needs to start thinking about how they are gonna make that payment.
Just starting that its the same bs. I've had people tell me and Ive seen videos about the struggle of getting a GT allocation. It just seems like with money theres really no end to it when it comes to luxury commodities. Theres always a bigger fish, its kind of depressing when you think about it tbh
Just wanted to point out thats its definitely a problem and people do complain, but its just like you said. The perception coupled with such a small percentage of people (rich enough to buy one but not enough to stomach the markup) that most dont care so it doesn't get much traction.
