Point is, i'm sure they'd love to sell more Z's but they are more focused on selling more of their main money makers than compromising their higher end sports cars to try and appeal to the masses.

And next up on the nightly news...the sky is blue. In all seriousness, I think the general consensus isn't one of attempting to make the Z a volume seller, more setting it up as a "halo" car along with the GTR simply to attract brand attention.
