I would argue the FR-S is a halo car not a niche car. It's about as garden-variety a sports car as you can get. Problem is, for what they cost it's competing with the Hyundai Genesis, which has a lot more utility (and better build quality). I'm guessing you're not in Los Angeles. Teslas have a few advantages going for them: - use of the carpool lane without carpooling - highest Consumer Reports rating of any car ever rated - highest Smug concentration of any vehicle on the road ...and they're priced in line with a BMW 7 series, which means you didn't buy one because you're a granola freak like Jodi and her fucking Nissan Leaf. You bought one because you're an ascendant broker that cares for the environment. And they're everywhere. The 370Z is crazy fucking expensive for what you get. a high-end Z roadster is within shooting distance of a low-end Boxster and there's no way someone's paying Porsche money for a Nissan.
