There is a middle class car shaped like a ferrari: The Lotus Elise and even more so, the Alfa Romeo 4C. Now let's see what happens when they do this: No one buys it! Wow. It seems, relatively few people want that. And with such a small number of people, car companies don't have the economies of scale to build those cars.

Car enthusiasts make up a small percentage of the car market, even here in America. People want practical, with a bit of badge.

And there are other really awesomely styled cars: Hyundai Veloster, SLK 55 AMG and I don't see these selling out really fast.
