Subaru? No. Mazda? Mx-5? Maybe? Honda? No. (NSX is exotic). Toyota. No. (As of right now). Oh the 86...yuck. Lexus. No. Ford? No. GT is way way exotic. Gt350. Ehh. Dodge. No. Hyundai. No. Not much out there. Do they really need a fresh platform? Not really. Sadly. But they will...if they want any market share.
I am actually thinking the opposite. These days, you have muscle cars like the Mustang and Camaro that can handle corners, light weight cars that are very refined and provide tons of driving excitement at low speed and souped up economic cars that carry 300+ hp. They may not have the pure sports car names, but they are fun cars to drive.
For Z lovers like us, the Z strikes a good balance between performance, handling and comfort. For haters, the Z does none of those particularly well.
