Then come out with a smaller sports car to compete with the BRZ and miata.

Nissan's seems to be pushing their racing creds a lot lately (GT Acadamy, Deltawing, Altima V8 touring car) but they only offer one high volume sports car. They need to label the GTR an Infiniti ("Hey baby, come take a ride in my Nissan G.. hey come back!" vs "Wanna ride in my Infiniti GTR and.. ), and split the Z-cars into two tiers.

I like companies that offer a low-price/high-price sports car pairs. Think Celica/Supra, Miata/RX8, Camaro/Corvette, BRZ/STI, MustangV6/V8, Soltice/GTO. That structure allows a low bar to enter the brand, and then a more mature option to grow into.
I would love to see a two tiered option small V8 (VK50 cough) and a turbo 4. That would be sweet!
