I took the large red font as a joke, a poor one, but a joke

Your point regarding a trickle down effect in the economics (global) of car sales is a valid one and if US policy changes impact sales of the bread and butter cars, the low volume units are not going to get funded.

By Saying it is *Trump* and not, accurately, the republican party's proposed policy changes, makes it political and divisive. Using Trump in the title (as you did) is click bait and takes away again from a valid hypothetical discussion point.

I'd argue the Z's future has been in doubt far before the US election and potential policy changes given a lack of any leaks, spy shots, nor excitement from Nissan for some time now.

I'd love a 3.0L 3200lb light turbo screamer with a T top for a Z35 but I know I'm not gonna be getting that
