Same here. But I haven't seen any of the special-edition Continentals yet on the road, with the front-opening rear doors. Maybe celebrities, diplomats, and other VIPs have all the planned-production already spoken for.

There are only 80, I do not expect to ever see one in person.

I think you have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot.

80 is pretty exclusive. Never seen an LFA on the road, this would be even more rare.

LOL. If I want to see Big Foot, all I have to do is look down at my shoes.

(remember my comments, in reviews, about brake/gas-pedal relationship?)

A few of these were probably picked up by collectors and speculators leaving even fewer that might seen on the street.

I think they have given up the fight. At least the fight for #1.
I don't think thats really true. Obviously they can't do anything about interior space, but they can redesign the seats to make more legroom, they can rework the suspension to improve ride comfort over handling. They can make the car a lot better.
