simple question
back in 1970 when the -6's were introduced, was there "market excitement" which caused the early adopters to throw down deposits & get onto wait-lists for the first cars? was there a temporary frenzy to get one? - if so, when did it abate? - and did "flippers" get into the act? did it happen in USA? did it happen in Germany? i know it happened in USA on cars like the 1990 Miata - but that was 20 yrs later - & now-a-days, it is a marketing tactic to release limited production special editions at full-price plus additional dealer markup (Porsche 918 Spyder, Carrera GT, 911 Speedster etc, - Tesla mania is similar) |
