Wow... like I said in the other thread. Say goodbye to the Z. If there is another genration of them? It will be a serious poser car or a electric sports car. The Z will be going down as the last japanese legend.
The hyundai genesis coupe will be the formidable sports car and scion will be its main competitor. As other posers embellish in wanting a rare sports car to have bragging rights don't even understand the impact this will have on JDM motorsports and the overall quality expectations of the cars coming over the next 10 to 15 years. Mustang and camaro will most likely be the only affordable options while korea and Scion go from so called sub standard rice machines to asian import gods.
The only competitive Z's will be the strong few of us that is determined to go FI and keep the track heritage alive on the Z. Its downhill from here. The fwd regal gs will be considered a real sports car. The sonata and veloster will be considered high performance vehicles.
The corvette will get realer and so will the price. As well as mustang and camaro. When the Z finally comes out again it will be @ current GT-R prices and the GT-R will start @ 150k.
RIP affordable fun to drive powerful sports cars. Its 96 all over again. But this time we have hybrids to make sure there's no resurgence of the affordable sports car.
To those that wanted exclusivity. Your dreams are about to come true. Enjoy the repurcussions.
