Hello John,

The Plus 8 was dropped for regulatory reasons and the difficulty
of obtaining engines. It was replaced with the more potent V-6
Roadster. Same but different. These are selling QUITE well.

The thoroughly "modern" and very high-tech car does not sell
so well due to the cost, which is nearly double.

How's your latest 50 ASPH, BTW?

Regards,

William
