With that out there, what you are saying makes sense. For example I loved every second I drove the 4c. Still think about it when I'm alone at night. I would love to own 7 of them, one for each day of the week.

Would I pay 80k for one? Not a chance. It doesn't "feel" like a 80k car, and to me no 4 cylinder car could ever.

There's a reason why a v12 ferrari is far more expensive then v8 ones, and it has nothing to do with horsepower. But they are of course the pure "anti Intellectualization of cars" brand.

Like I said, if you or anyone else is ok with a 4cyl at that price point, I'm all for it. Keeps the segment alive.
I wonder if this BMW M12 4 cylinder powered F1 car feels like 80k car.
