If you were talking about halo cars that were made on their own dedicated assembly lines (SVX as one for instance) then your arguement might hold water. I don't believe the VR-4 (nor Stealth) was and I highly doubt the GTS was. You;re also telling us that by driving by a car on the highway, you were able to determine that it was the upscale version by the panel gaps and "more of a solid made of metal glint"? What does that quoted phrase mean?

How about the fact they were more expensive to buy, probably purchased by an enthusiast and therefore more likely to have been properly cared for as a reason as to what they last longer? I believe this would be a plausible explanation.
