Third, used vehicles are available, public transportation is available, and people with jobs still want cars because they give them independence.

i see your point BUT you cant blame the companies from at least thinking about it, with the way the times are. agreed people want what people want so they are gonna do what they're gonna do BUT for those on a budget but still want a sports car (sort of) thats not as expensive.... this would be the companies way of saying " we understand" ... sort of...
who knows. for all we know (since we arent insiders ) they could continue the Z as it is AND bring out a "more affordable Z" with the 'downsize'... best of both worlds? who knows for sure? we dont.... we just guess lol
