Dont get my Wrong the GTs is pretty quick and fun but the alternatives to getting a GTs to another more stronger car the GT was close to the faster cars price range with the GTs just being far to overpriced.

So it came down to poor product planning and placement. Obviously not entirely but maybe they underestimated the U.S.'s price sensitive market also like you said its a very competitive segment.
