This is definitely sad! I have always wanted one but always a stretch of the budget and not willing to spend that much, at least not yet in my life. It will be interesting to see if this will inflate the prices of used one now...
It's huge bummer, as the LCs are my favorite cars, but it really doesnt fit in the American market. I wish they would bring the 70 series over here. As a military brat living overseas, I got to experience them firsthand and loved them. The troopy definitely has to be my favorite.
