They didn't, did they...but opinions are just opinions. When I got to look at the $64,000 Ferrari 308 GTSI in 1981, I hated it. The car looked great but was horrendous inside. Pedals were all too close, driving position was odd, visibility was terrible, gauges seemed oddly hard to read even through they were visible, etc. Yet, they sold plenty of them nonetheless.
