It's funny you should say that, I feel like all the car companies are getting like that. Ferrari is bringing back the dino, talk of a v8 Gallardo, AMV8, Continental GT, C-class, Boxster...ect. It's kind of sad if you ask me.

It is sad. Exclusivity is what made these companies what they are, availability to the masses makes them not so special any more. Then again, maybe I'm just jaded.
