Key points

The Type 01 could attract a niche market of car enthusiasts who appreciate the Type 00’s design, even if they prefer a more practical four-door version.
The Type 01 might not sell as well as expected if the market prefers more traditional car designs or if the price is too high for some potential buyers.
