If true, we should be hearing about multiple additional failures each week, right?

No new cases reported in a long time (and only handful of truly documented cases to begin with).

What conclusion do you draw? And based on what facts?

it's pretty much a proven fact that the majority of people that buy sports cars do not drive them hard. Thus, if you say that out of those 1500 $90 to $100k cars only 20% are being driven hard, that is 300, if out of those 300 there are 30 known cases, KNOWN cases, that is a lot. What conclusion do you draw?
