It's still a bargin basement Porsche or perhaps fighting with the US Muscle/Pony cars for customers. The other major competitor is the Genesis.
About the same (or a little less) weight plus another 25-50 ponies, further chassis refinement, other nettling issues resolved (e.g., fuel starve) and we're there.
Ooooh I wants me the next gen Z -- bring on the concept already! 
On the weight: Anyone know what the Q50 is supposed to be coming in at? I'm guessing we can expect similar weight difference between current Z:current G and next gen Z:Q50. |
They are taking the whole fun factor BS of the 86 and running with it like a freight train with no brakes. Point is, this car can barely dent a Civic on a track. Let alone any of the Big Boys. The gencoupe 2.0 is a track beast by comparison of the FR-S.
Fun factor on that car is high. But FR-S reviews are definitely one-sided and convoluted.
