I need to jump in here.

First the 997TT will be produced in greater numbers than the 430. Presently Porsche is estimating 6000 per year but that is all predicated on demand. It could go to 10,000. The 430 world wide is less than 4000. In the US, the 430 is very limted; up to 1000 per year.

Second and more important, is since the 997TT looks like all other 911's, Boxster and Cayman you are really looking at close to 60,000 cars per year.

As one car magazine said about the 911, "it seems like everyone owns one".As a result, the term exotic can never apply to the 997TT.
