  • no interest in small sport cars, because they'd prefer a Golf GTI/GTD
  • no interest in mid-sized sport cars, because they'd prefer a 911 (which is inferior to a Cayman)
  • no interest in supercars, because they prefer the snobbish Ferrari badge

Too bad for BMW (Z4 M), Audi (Quattro or R4), Honda (S2000), Alfa Romeo (GTV/6C), Toyota (Supra), Mazda (MX- and RX Line), McLaren (P13), and many others.
