Aston Martin Rapide interior leaked

My question is why did the super car makers suddenly decide that it would be a good idea to produce 4 door cars? Every 4 door Ferrari’s resale value is far lower than any other Ferrari, which would tell people that there isn’t a huge market for 4 door super cars. Read more
