Is the market for the Zs really soft right now?

Z car is for 2 different generations. One being tuners. But with them being young. Insurance would be sky high. Second is people older with out kids. They can afford insurance and payment. They may also know little about the history of the z or wanted a Datsun z back in there youth?

But yes a stick shift for older generation is a must. Tuners generation might want the auto.

axmea?

How did you come up with this analysis? Tuners who go for automatics and have to pay high insurance rates and older generation without kids who go for manual and can afford insurance? ********* **** ***** *****

Edited to be nice. Property value in this neighborhood has gone down a little. LOL.

Cause kids are lazy and don't want to learn manual trans. Also I remember when I was young my insurance was high. Sports car ( Monte Carlo ) with full coverage at 18 with clean record would have been like 1,800+ every 6 months. Just going off experience here.

They're also more work and slower. I wouldn't pretend that laziness is the only reason.

It's like saying that using a calculator is being lazy and we should get notepaper and pencil.

Why not hiring a race car driver to drive and you take the passenger seat? No work and faster!!!

Good point. My guess is the automatic fans would also love autonomous cars. No driver involvement whatsoever. A friend used to fly the Stealth Fighter. He said he couldn't wait for leave when he could fly his Cessna 172. He said the Stealth was so automated it was completely boring to fly.
