Ruprecht, it's common knowledge that the S2K seats are ridiculously overpriced. Might as well buy GT3 Recaro seats for cheaper...
What gives?

A private sale might go unnoticed to an unfamiliar buyer but anyone who is aware that these seats costs as much as the do is deffinatly going to bargain down the price and for good reason IMO.

Unless you want to race SCCA A-Stock. Or SCCA T3.
Seriously, the CR wasn't meant for your daily highway commute, or your grocery store errands. You're all right, the base is just as good (better even, if you compare to a CR without audio or A/C) as a CR for those purposes. But if you intend to use the car as the name intends, the CR is a vastly superior machine.
To take it to an extreme - what's a better car, an Exige S or an SLK55? Depends on who's answering, IMO.

Take your logics elsewhere, Elistan. Common sense and logical reasoning went out the window from page 1 of this thread.

Its funny to see all the hate. I understand the argument about not having the folding power top, but stick with the non-cr if that is your beef. The cr has a hardtop which i prefer over the soft top.
For me..
1) i like the hardtop (living in canada, it will mostly be on)
2) i like the interior
3) i like the exterior changes (although i dont care for the spoiler)
The hardtop alone is 4k in canada.
The CR costs only 2k more then the non-cr.
The included hardtop alone makes it more then worthwhile to buy the CR FOR ME.
I think people should buy what suits them. The bashing I think is at least in part for some people is due to the fact that they want the CR. Impractical as it is for people, this car will and does have a huge demand.
I do not own the CR yet, but I will buy it hands down over the non-cr.
