Help me understand something.

Here is a Lexus SC 430:





It's a quirky design, but not ugly in a bad way, I don't think.

It's made of bombproof granite (isn't it?) and has the super reliable Lexus engine?

It's a 4.3 litre V8 (so can probably be made to sound good) and yet it has roofless fun AND a completely leather and wood infested cabin.

Not shockingly fast, but swift... we all LOVE the LS 400 so why is this reliable, quick, quirky, comfortable V8 roadster / cruiser completely crap?

I don't get it.
