Becoming a victim of their own success if you will. Gotta give it 'em, their business model right now is genius. I do worry longterm about "appealing to the masses" and over saturation as in Philly BMW's are becoming common as well...but this kinda profit shows they know what they are doing. I just wish they could do all this without alienating the core enthusiast somewhat.
