Project 7 going for $185000 doesn’t qualify?

type R coming out at Over $100,000 doesn’t qualify?

it’s not my fault that 30,000 miles later humans now value the car at 40,000 (Ofcourse I bought it)

you know.. what makes a car exotic? Is there some “standards” that need to be met to define a car as exotic. Cause You are right it can’t be rarity alone..

Just saying

It’s a damn good car. Check out this stat. If this doesn’t put the F Type over all other jags I don’t know what will.

A high price tag does not automatically qualify a car as an exotic. RRs and Bentley's go for far higher prices, but certainly not as exotics.

Extremely popular enthisiasts' car, yes, exotic no. I'm personally responsible for close to 10% of those posts. The F-Type certainly qualifies as an object of obsession, but I don't think as an exotic. I actually know someone who has mounted his discarded F-Type muffler as a piece of art. (AND you know who you are!)
