Because you couldn't buy that Civic from a dealership, and generally speaking you wouldn't have said Civic be nearly as reliable (or anywhere close to reliable) to an exotic, even as unreliable as exotics tend to be. EVs broadly embarrass sports cars all while being more comfortable, more practical, and... usually cheaper.
