Sure, a small sports car is less practical than a big one. But sports cars exist, so that is irrelevant to the whole question; clearly there are some people who don't want a big, ugly car.
By analogy, Asus (and several other brands) now makes laptops that look almost exactly like a MacBook Pro — unibody aluminium enclosure, glass screens and everything — at a tiny fraction of the price. So why won't anyone create a Porsche 911 replica that is as good-looking and as good to drive, only without the insanely high price?
- dreamcompiler 10y agoI was trying to answer the question from my perspective but I did a poor job. Impractical cars exist, but they sell in low volumes, so they have to be expensive because the tooling for any car is horrifically expensive -- much more so than for a laptop computer. A cheap 911 clone cannot exist because the body style is too impractical to sell in high volumes.
