BMW Z8 vs sc430
I came across a review of the z8 on you tube. In 2001 the msrp was 125k. The sc430 was 60 k. The bmw had a soft top vs the superior hard top of the Lexus. Why was the bmw so expensive when new.

Uhh they didn't make any. It wasn't a Toyota backed production car. From wikipedia.
"A total of 5,703 Z8s were built: 3,160 for the world market and 2,543 for the North American market"
Toyota will use the same manufacturing facilities/technology to make 100,000 camrys to make 10,000 SC430's as well. Or at least they did back in the day. SC build ### are in the 30,000? Something like 6x the Z8 numbers.
