If I were on Nissan's board I'd say screw the average consumer and let's only offer a TT 6MT hardtop with adjustable coil-overs, launch control and variable boost... but maybe that's why I'm not in business. They'd sell like 5 of them.  |
Yup... Some of us are going to either stay in the Z family if the Z is what we hope and if not? Some of us may go upmarket to the low $1XX,000 arena? For some of us, if can we fulfill the vision of a great driving machine in the low end? We save money for other things... Cheaper cars give a more raw experience. That's the appeal.
But now premium makers like Benz, Jaguar and Lexus are seeing the appeal of raw hard edge machines in the upmarket arena. I'll buy an underdog car before a premium one if executed right? So many factors go into individual decision making. But if it can't be executed down low... High is the market we'll have to play in
