Now that I've started to procreate, I've had to re-prioritize things a bit for the short term. Of course, 2-3 years ago I wasn't as wise, so maybe I'm just making up another excuse :dunno: .
I think this pretty much sums up why cars like this don't succeed. There's a very thin slice of people who have enough money, aren't boy racers and don't have kids. Those are really the only people who would buy the car and they're in short supply.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
