The 86 will probably be resurrected as a proper tuner car/hot rod in another decade or so, but for now, its over.
The LFA is a fantastic car, but also stunning failure. It's way too much money for what you get, and so hardly anyone owns them.
What's the third one?
I think the Supra will be excellent -- a 6 cyl motor plus boost with nice lines on the body = excellent sportscar value for those who prefer Japanese style and reliability over American muscle.
I think, akin to the ancient, yet ongoing, Mustang v. Camaro battle, I anticipate a Supra v. Z war for the soul of drivers who like Japanese cars.
If I can possibly swing it, I am getting one of them by or before 2019, and can't wait to test drive both  |
Agreed.... the LFA was a total fail on so many levels. $375,000 for a $200,000 car. It wasnt about 0-60. If we were that type. None of us would spend the kind of money we spent to buy Z's. We'd be in mustangs. At least those of us who actually invested in Nissan and bought a brand new car.
I hope the supra is a competitive car and that a proper Z comes next generation. Nissan is fvckin around and the Japanese yen is having issues again. I can see a repeat of 1996-1998.
