One brand comes to mind that has several cars in its lineup which have not seen a redesign for a long time.......Lotus! Does anyone complain? NO! That's because the Elise, Exige and Evora are the type of cars that people want. Driver cars with relatively low tech. Yes the Evora recently received higher horsepower but the engine still remains the same low tech Toyota V6 nevertheless. Keep in mind, the Evora was designed in 2009. No one is complaining. We won't even talk about the Elise which has remained almost unchanged since the mid 90's except for new skin and mild engine tweaking. Again, simple low tech Toyota 4-banger.

On the other side of the spectrum, look at what happens when a car maker tries to reinvent the wheel by stuffing as much useless tech as they can in redesigning a car that was originally the holy grail of sports cars. Yes, I'm talking about the new Acura NSX. It's turned out to be a sales flop. Too much tech that no one wants at an uncompetitively high price. With all it's hybrid technology, V6 turbo and different drive modes, it has a hard time even keeping up with cars in its price range.

I think the present Z is a modern classic that is still unique, fun, fast, beautiful and therefore will be highly sought after when gone.
