Right. So you have to ask yourself what role "exciting" cars play in a car company's success. The Toyota Supra used to be a real contender in the GT market, likewise the RX-7, and the NSX was a great car too. All three companies seem to have been doing quite well without them....I'm not sure anyone other than the enthusiasts that cater to that niche really even noticed their passing. In the scheme of things...who would mourn the passing of the Z, and would Nissan abandoning that niche be as smart for Nissan as it was for Toyota, Honda, and Mazda?
Many people on this forum complain about how long the 370Z has been on the plate. I see us as being fortunate that the car hasn't been killed off altogether.
