Bad sales new for z's

They aren't vanishing as evidenced by the sales numbers of Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers. I agree with most of what you said though, especially about the grey area between GTIs and American v8s. But I do think there is space there for it.

Awesome.

Yeah, I was referring more to cars that aren't American muscle. They're the exception to the rule, because they will always have a "no replacement for displacement" following. (Although rumor has it Ford is slapping a turbo 4 in their next Mustang instead of the V6.) And I actually like a lot of muscle cars too. I've always liked the V8 Mustang.

I meant more of the compact sports car or commuter car. I was talking with my friend the other night about how he loved his 91 Beretta in high school, and how big and stupid that V6 was. You'll never see that again.

But most of that volume are the V6 models in the $22-$26 range. If you want sales volume you have to compete in this lower price range. This is the price the average buyer wants to spend. Having a back seat, however small it is, is also what the average buyer wants.
