In regards to that "3 reasons why the nissan z cannot compete in the us:" Does anyone anywhere want the Nissan Z to sell Mustang-like units of 80,000+? I don't think even Nissan is aiming anywhere near that.
The author hits the valid point of cost, but the 2+2 is silly and having less hp than a Mustang, while true, is not necessarily the fighting point for everyone. I can't say I've once thought of the Z as a muscle car, and thus competing with them. The Toybaru being around probably actually helps stir up interest, and certainly gets rid of the youngsters who starve themselves so they can afford a $25k used Z.
Anyway, the author picked a fight with a low-production car that is 4 years old and due for an upgrade. You could probably make a similarly useless article about any car with those two criteria.
Now, if the author had started talking about competition from the Alfa Romero 4C or compared against the newer Audi TT...
