Shallow? No, I dig the IDx for a car, not a replacement for a Z. The Z has a long heritage of RWD, good power, for the common man. Id hate to think is straying from that recipe. You can argue the 300 strayed, being so damn expensive, perhaps the 370 too as I got screwed and bought a '13 and got raped. But mechanically the recipe has always been there. The IDx offers none of it (as a Z). Given the preamble to Tokyo, all the innuendos gestures and downright frankness that "the next gen Z car will be unveiled", i hardly think its shallow to accept the IDx as a viable replacement for the beloved Z. Neat car, but a Z it aint. Amiright?

I shoulda bought a 5.0. LOL. Naaaa, thing was face melting fast, I missed the intimacy, the connection I get with a two seater having a 260, 280, 300, 350 and now a 370, Im probably not Fords ideal market. Fecking great car though, wicked bang for your buck.

I like the IDx, but it's not the new Z. It can't be. If it is, I'll take my anger out on my liver later tonight.

Please ask this very specific question to your friend. "Is the Z a different car than the IDX or will it be derived from the IDX platform?" Thank you in advance on behalf of all your Z brothers-in-arms!
