My View
It is great to witness special edition iterations of popular cars from the factory. These have an inherent charm to it and you can be assured about the quality since OEMs do it themselves. There is always that doubt about reliability with aftermarket car modifications houses. But such special edition stock models are great for owning a unique iteration of a regular vehicle. I shall keep an eye out for more such cases in times to come.
