Probably posted already. inb4 it gets moved for being a part of the same general topic anyway.

Kinda sucks, but in their situation, it's smart. I mean Toyota did themselves a favor in focusing on the eco market at the expense of discontinuing the Supra/MR-2/Celica.

^ nissan by dropping the Z.

Jordo!

Eh, lets wait and see.

Nissan/Infiniti's current line up bores me. I don't think I'll be buying another Nissan in a while. Dey don't have their priorities straight for us car guys.

The Supra hopefully will be what Nissan can't be.

Give it a year or 2, Nissan will slap the Q60 Red Sport TT engine in the Z

The Supra will be priced way out of affordability for most

SINISTER

Yea future rear wheel drivers with common sense will be stuck with that lame duck BRZ/FRS as their only option. Supra will be upwards of 60 to 70k and those with no common sense and too much money will buy them.

That is readily apparent, if for no other reason it is exactly the same car that it was in 2009. I'm sure that the only reason it's still in the sales brochure is that the assembly line is paid for long ago. Its sales, marketing, and manufacturing probably costs them peanuts.

Did Toyota put out pricing already?

If this is the case. Nissan is going to go on hiatus with the Z to inject a better interior, a few extra lightweight bits and sell the Z at that price range instead of selling a $40k Z. They will probably re-explore bringing back the Silvia lineup with a weak turbo 4 for the $40k lineup.

They're trying to reverse the market. Making electric vehicles the affordable lifeless vehicles that middle income people are going to work their asses off to afford and yet not have ANY motor sports fun.

As the rich get all the fun gas engines and leave the regular folk with nothing fun to drive. The rich really are trying to create what we consider normal living, exclusive to them while we are here driving in GPS based traceable cars driving to our jobs being watched on video cameras and being monitored at work by what we punch in our computers and living in the computer controlled homes where they even know what temperatures we like our homes to be when we sleep.

All this technology is not for safety or for efficiency. It's for control. And our sports cars will be completely taken away from us in 2 car generations. There will be NO AFFORDABLE sports cars.

They want the movie Equilibrium

Not yet. Given the iconic name and the power plant rumored to go in it, it will not be a penny less $60k starting. Fully optioned and high trim most likely added another 20-30k. Priced way out of the average car guy

Yeap, like the GTR. Who wants to pay for a car what it cost for a house in most normal areas. California and NY don't count. Housing is way overpriced in those areas.
