End of an era

Rather than retool entirely, wouldn't it make sense to sell the identical car with only slightly revised bodywork to minimize costs (a different bumper and side skirts or headlights, but otherwise identical)? BRZ and FRS are on the way out, but they've been on the market for a few years right. I'm sure people have gotten their fill of low power RWD cars that aren't quite as good as a Miata, but are still painful as a daily (IMO, I found the car to not have anything that wow-ed me in any aspect).

I'm saying basically sell the Q60 with a manual transmission and badge it as a Z. Don't even have to take the rear seats out, you could bring it back as a 300ZX refresh. Simply to keep the Z alive.

Edit: PS, don't blame all the millennials. I'm technically one. Plenty of us still like cars, just not a lot.
