The Iconic V8 Engine

  • ⚠️ He hopes for a North American "final edition" to purchase before the V8 engine production ceases entirely.

Investment and Resale Value

  • πŸ’° A key motivation is the potential for strong resale value or even appreciation if the 2026 model is indeed the final edition.
  • βœ… Acquiring a special final edition could be a long-term investment that avoids depreciation.

Convertible Preference
