Sure there is a few thousand in every vehicle, but it is not out of line with the profit margin of a car that is similarly equipped. Now if they are able to build the Z here in the states, they can reduce the cost for manufacture, but they still need to sell enough to justify that investment. Look at what Subaru and Mitsubishi gives for their sports cars. A turbo 4 banger, AWD and not much else, but it costs the same. Nissan isn't alone in this price conspiracy.

Yeah, That's why Toyota and subaru are smart. They are selling us a car that's worth about $20,000-$24,000 for $25,000-$31,000 even though this current market can sell the FR-S/BRZ much cheaper. But if there's a sudden spike in the Dollar/yen exchange. They always make money.

And the way they made appealing to buyers was through sponsored corporate hype, making the american market think they were getting the best car on the planet by adding the worst tires possible and controlling the car with nannies. lol

We bought it up. The FR-S is as good as a Ferrari for $25k. lol American media are evil geniuses. It works on 80% of the population whenever they throw it, most people eat it even if it's sitting on shyt. Thats why every 6 months the news tells you broccoli causes cancer and between that they tell you about broccoli's anti-oxidants and phyto cells blah blah blah... may prevent cancer. So we can go on forums and debate if broccoli is healthy or causes cancer. Same shyt in the car game. Media hype and Forum debates.

confused?

The Z needs to have an s30 style chassis and a Z32 style motor. Everything else in the middle can be worked out if nissan really wants too?
