Apparently, tacky styling sells quite well.

What the hell is with this light bar? It makes it look old. Like the car has a wrinkle.

True, but unfortunately, sports cars sales usually cool down faster than sales of regular cars.

Yes, but this is regardless a case of expectations that have been exceeded.

Promoting it in the SuperGT sure paid off, even if Nissan won the championship title.

[perceived] Reliability sells well, looks don't matter to some buyers of Lexus.

Over 9000? Not the case, Nissan sells the Skyline Coupe at huge discounts.

Basically, Lexus saw what McLaren did with the P1 (swoops...swoops everywhere...) and decided to do it with the RC? It did not work out in their favor.

No no no, just 9. As in, 3 less than a dozen.
