What are your thoughts on limited edition and special edition cars?
They are IMO used to sell old stock. In some cases a limited edition makes the entire range look cooler that it otherwise would be. Mercedes Black, Carbon CCX etc...
It winds me up a little when you get charged extra for them taking things off the car and selling it as a weight reduced limited edition.
Should car makers make limited editions or just come up with new models more frequently. Would you pay a premium for a limited edition and what would it need to appeal to you?
For me a car with fancy seats and a paint job will not count as a limited edition but throw in some special tuning and I'm there.
My A4 was the Le Mans quattro which had an extra 25bhp and nice wheels! I even upgraded my A3 with the Le Mans alloys because we liked them so much!
