Exactly. The writer of that article completely misses the point. A Mustang GT has more power and a more useable back seat than a 911, while costing less than half. By his criteria, that means Porsche can't compete. Just because today's muscle (I'd argue pony) cars are closer in performance to more traditional sports cars, doesn't mean they're competitors in any category but price.

It's a two seater. Obviously they appeal to a smaller market. There is a 370Z 2+2 option. It's called a G37 coupe, and it seems to sell very well. I see them everywhere. Add in those sales to the Z's sales if we want a apples to apples comparison.

The comparisons to the Toyobaru aren't really that valid, since the twins are more comperable to a hardtop Miata or new 240sx.
