The reason it doesn't sell well is because people like to say on the internet all the time that they miss the days of pure, basic sports cars but when one is available they pick it apart mercilessly for not having the refinement, acceleration, and tech of more expensive and heavy cars. Cars from automakers that they bemoan everyday for "losing their way" making these fast, high tech, heavy , and expensive vehicles that people actually buy.

IMO the weak engine makes it even more a 'driver's car'; you have to really drive it to get the most out of it. You have to drive well and carry momentum, because you don't have the luxury of a huge pile of power on tap. If I ever get another e9x, I'll be looking for a 325i...for example.
