Even the BRZ was pushing 30k

I am curious how the development costs for the Z and the Supra compare. Toyota essentially punted the development of a new chassis by licensing an existing one and fine tuning some stuff. Nissan *appears* to be cost cutting but . . . not developing a new chassis at all. Maybe we get a couple upgraded components, or maybe even the same components with better materials.

I'm sure they still have to crash test it again with the feds, and then the new engine/chassis combo needs to go through all the emissions crap
