Just because they don't sell in your neighborhood doesn't mean that they're exotic, however. I drove mine for 18 years. It was hardly exotic, although it was a darn fine handler and went well enough to suit me. I see more BMWs and Mercedes than MR2s. Not Lamborghinis, however, although there's a dealer not 4 miles away. No one drives Lambos or Ferzzaz around in daily use anymore. Heck, recently I've seen more Lotus Elise around than Lambos. (The other day I happened across one of my favorite true exotica: a 1966 Lancia Fulvia Zagato Sport, parked in downtown Palo Alto. Beautiful little thing... I don't think I'd seen one on the road for 18 years until then. FWD ... I remember doing a transmission on one in 1975 or so. Nicely designed, easy to work on.)
