Troyz · 10-29-2013, 12:44 PM

Wonder sometimes how the division no cyl (displacement) of Japanese RWD Sports Cars versus American will grow...

390Z to have a 4Cly Optional?

Any time I read an article and the writer puts something like " Sad, that" I won't read any more of it. Come on if you are a journalist write like one not some dumb kid trying to be cool with his twenty something friends.

I do not, but I expect someone who writes for a living to use proper English. I am a high school dropout and still use better grammar.

yah..

Toyota was also blaming subaru for the high manufacturing cost of the drivetrain or something...
If the frs/brz was $20k, it probably would not have been a midlife crisis car? More a 20 something car.

Why offer a detuned version of the vq37? That seems a little backwards. Even if they drop significant weight, idk why they would put the vq37 in it and make less hp out of it...

Obviously that part of the article is a rumor, so ill take it with a grain of salt lol.

So that it wont step on z toes or g37 since i assume this will have backseats.

The Z is my quarter life crisis car

I see the BRZ as a Miata like car and not just for young folks. The majority of them, that I have seen have been in older hands not all mid life.

z is an accomplishment car for a dad with family.

Z is a "Lifetime Achievement Award" car for a grampa, who's raised and educated kids, provided for his spouse and comfortably retired!

Z is for the accomplished successful father who does not need to play taxi for his kids and the lot of friends they hang around with, as they are driving their own vehicles.
