I had a cop ask me that with a straight face about my rear wheels back when I drove one of these manly cars:
(It was fun to drive as a 5 speed manual)

Some day wheel spats are going to make a comeback, mark my words!I had a cop ask me that with a straight face about my rear wheels back when I drove one of these manly cars:

I've always wanted to drive one of those in a manual. That's the only hybrid I can think of with one.

I had to drive a Nissan Altima for several hours the last few days while doing some work travel and I must say those are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in. They could double as interrogation chambers, do not buy this car if you are married. She will extract all the information out of you on long trips. I'm not even fucking joking.

Did it? That's kinda sad. What was so bad about it or just wrong time to drop a 50k stripped down sports car?

It was just blah. Didn’t stand out. Didn’t beat rivals in cost or performance. Had some unkind characteristics that made it not drive as well as the competition. It was just on the 370Z chassis, so it was pretty half-assed.
There was a ton of excitement around its release and then within a few months, silence. Definitely a shame.

The 240/260 Z cars are just an example of car companies fucking with a good thing. The 300 line was just not close to the 240/260 vehicles. It felt like a totally different car. I loved the 240.

Yup. Weight added due to government requirements. Weight added due to buyers expecting all the new luxuries.
Not a lot of pure driver cars left.

Some of these manufacturers need to definitely offer stripped down versions that git rid of as much of the luxuries as possible. I just want Bluetooth for my phone, the rest I can live without. I could even use just well placed USB ports.
This would probably help sales for those of us that can't afford a 50k dollar car but would like more options.

More options means more manufacturing cost unfortunately. OEMs definitely milk it though.

I feel like at this point, it's kind of silly considering how much is just digital. OK power windows and door locks, usb ports and HVAC. Now you have a row of buttons and a big screen and some speakers. Heated/vented seats can plug in to replace. Most of the rest is software. Yea there's big ticket shit like sunroofs or whatever but why is it this hard for economic vehicles?

The Toyota 86 has been so popular because its back to basics. Small, light, fun.

Its probably not. But, if you were the OEM, would you sell for less when you didn't have to? People are buying anyway.
