A long term commitment for sure so perhaps not a factor if you're not looking to keep it forever.
I agree a long term commitment was what I was planning for. Just seeing how the Itr turned out really ended up kicking myself selling my 01 Itr. The fk8 Ctr is first time avail in North America and also still keeping the same pedigree from past Type R and Fwd and the fact that it smashed a record on the Nurburing helps. Was looking forward to daily it with the kids so the Fwd made more sense with weight and u turns and overal operation costs
