I agree that it is a great car. I'm just saying that asking $320,000 is way more than ridiculous for this car. Can you honestly say that a turbocharged Volvo engine in a stripped out, light weight car is worth that much? If all you want is a car that goes from 0-60 in 3 seconds and a top speed of 225 mph, you could easily have one for a 1/3 of that price.

its
just a volvo motor. Who cares, besides volvo doesn't make it, yamaha does. No one complains that the 4.6L ford motor found in the GT500, Ford GT and the basis of the Aston Martin V8 vantage is just a mustang motor with some work done. Or the Pagani motor is
just a massaged Mercedes v12 from the 90's. Original motors are expensive to develop, I'd rather the Yamaha boat motor (Porsche did the same thing with the 928 v8 in 78-79) thats been around for along time, plenty of parts when I twist something while running way too much boost.
Fact is people that are buying a 300k+ supercar probably have another sports/super car or an entire stable. The noble is one of the more special of them, unlike the new lambos and mercedes mclarens.
