I'd also relate poor sales due to the price. It rose every year. I purchased mine with all options for 65k in '14, but the last year of production would have put the car at 10k + which is absolutely ridiculous.

btw I was also looking at an F-Type, but to have one equally equipped was 92k, and it would never have the same storage space, or refinement. I hated the fact the navigation is so low in the dash.

long story short, don't know the e89. Its a great car, just at the wrong time.
Agreed.

I particularly think that greedy pricing played a major factor in poor sales for this car.
