The GT3 finally got a manual. They've given the GT3 so many configurations. It's crazy. Too bad all the love goes into 100k plus cars. But the truth is. The rich don't whine and complain about cup holders and gas mileage on sports cars. The broke do. I'm sure this is probably why the sub premium car brands are hesitant to put out a sports car.

I'm just thinking about year one on this forum and all the stupid complaints about the Z.

It should have a more practical 2+2 option

It should get better gas mileage.

It should have a v8 option

It should get 30mpg

It should have better designed cup holder. And should have 2.

These things are truly irrelevant to a sports car.

I had one peevy complaint. I felt for its starting price and lack of features. The touring pkg standard no we system should have been in the base car. The option should have been nav. Not bose. But that was an analysis based on cost of vehicle.

Anyway. The point is. Companies like Nissan are trying to make an affordable sports car to a crowd that worries about gas mileage and practicality. It's easier for them to push crossovers with a magic suspension than an actual sports car. The millennial male enthusiast where's panties while the wife has the draws with **** holes in em. So he wants a sports crossover not a sports car. Men with cash act like men. So men with cash get sports cars.

That's why Porsche is adding manuals to models while the middle class are losing them.
