Like most things it came down to price most of all. Cars are way too expensive in North America.

Even if it was half the cost, say $40K rather than $80K, I think most people in the market for a vehicle would choose something else!

I wouldn’t be surprised if cost were the only reason its sales weren’t even lower. If it’s expensive it’s at least a plausible status symbol. At a reasonable price it’s just an incompetently designed utility vehicle.
