Why didn't the Venturi Fetish develop such a reputation?

I think it was announced before the Roadster, and has similar supercar-like aspirations.

Why is the Roadster so much more well known and popular?
  • Lower price?
  • Celebrity endorsements?
  • First launched in California not Europe?
  • Better engineered product?
  • Better PR and Marketing?
  • Better styling?
  • ???
