I know that there is an emerging new wealth market in other parts of the world but they can't grow without the US. It will never feel good to buy a car from a company who doesn't bring. It's coolest vehicles here.

Hugh, it says Asia and Europe on the website. Do you know of any others? I was hoping to pick up a ceramic gray roadster 6 spd used in a bit. That color is amazing.

The US market is very difficult and expensive to build for when compared globally. Many other markets, like China for example, are easy and the cars sell for significantly more. I know if I were manufacturing goods, I would target the markets that made me the most profits first and then focus on less profitable markets once my costs came down.

That assumes AM want to grow with their current P&L
They actually need to make more profit rather than grow.
AM are renowned for inconsistent marketing
US got the V12V after they stated they could not make it comply to safety requirements
US got the manual S first (which is what the SP10 is)
The US is an important market for AM but as you say Asia and the Far East are better
I'm sure the new investors will also have an influence I guess

OK. Pretty sure it was sold by AM of Austin Texas. I was very surprised to see it here in the USA. Call them and ask.

I think it's this car.

Update: I knew I can find it. It is SP10.
