I havent tried to put the 16i in the same leaque as the 500 or the 200 , i have priced it in respect of it being one of the best in its class ,
The top of the tree in any class of car will see some people say it stupid money and others getting there wallet out
Its all about what floats your boat and if you want the best there is then you will pay for the pleasure of owning it

Yeah I know where your coming from with regards to why it's priced as it is and I'm sure a collector/concoure competer will buy it for that. it just seems crazy to me. I'd never spend that on a 16i regardless of if money was no object.
I've never understood these big price cars that you can't drive as they would loose there value but as you say it's about what floats your boat.
