It's an excellent opportunity if you were interested in one. Me, ignoring The Muskbrat and everything he represents, I wouldn't buy one for four reasons. (1) I'm not convinced they're good in snow because of their ground clearance. (II) They're too damn fast. I don't want a car that's that fast off the line. If I could adjust the acceleration curve, or easily slow it down and limit top speed, then I'd be slightly more amenable. (C) The Touchscreen. I DO NOT want a car that has so many functions buried in menus in a big damn touchscreen that requires me to take my eyes off the road! And (4) The fact that the door locks are electronic networked devices. If your car loses all power, you have to use an emergency door unlock! If you're in a panic situation, I hope you've studied that manual really well to remember how to do that!!! As far as I know, they are the only car maker with such door locks. There's a bunch of other reasons, but those are the four biggies.
