Interestingly I was looking at an article recently that had this information in it:
2013 Acura ILX
Base price: $25,900
Fully loaded price: $34,400
2012 Honda Civic sedan
Base price: $15,955
Fully loaded price: $26,900
The ILX and Civic are built on the same platform, so essentially they are the same car with different features for prices between $15,955 and $34,400. The top end of the line is more than double the price of the bottom end. It looks like Shelby is just following the rest of the industry as far as pricing goes. |
I don't believe in another 60 years, hot rod makers will say "nothing rides and performs like an Acura."
These hot rods are basic cars: fast gas engines, tubular frames, no fancy gizmos; they shouldn't cost $200K++, or $150K, or $80K.
In 1962, an original cobra was about $6-7K which equals to about $50-55K today. So $50K should get u into the driver's seat for a simple go fast fun hot rod.
It is simply nostalgia that these hot rod makers are selling, and I don't believe the X or Y car enthusiast generation has any connection to these hot rod shapes and will pay $200K out the showroom door for old car technology.
