MSRP for an FR-S is still ~26k so that's like 2-3k difference between them and Z. To some that's a small difference, to others it's a world of a difference.
That difference is really nothing unless you are paying cash. Another few grand on a five year loan is like 50 bucks a month.

Basically for like 15% more money you get 65% more power (and much better performance all the way around) and a much nicer interior.

Anyway, looks like I'm not the only fellow to see that Nissan is gunning for the twins...

Maybe but thats 3000 bucks either way u cut it . In that case if we apply it to 14 z pricie drop, its like sayings that is insignificant.

But your right z is way more car than toyura twins.

Not at all -- my point is strictly a matter of bang for your buck. The Z offers much more bang per buck in my view.

The twins have two major things going for it: It's very hot right now and it should get better MPG.

Otherwise, its simply a matter of how much you like/loathe one over the other -- after all, you could pass on both and get a Mustang or Camaro, which have potentially even greater bang for the buck.

But... if you want a sleek sports car (as opposed to a pony or muscle car, although that line continues to bur...), you pretty much are deciding between the twins and the Z.

Unless, of course, you are also looking at MX-5's, in which case the Z will lose by virtue of being a bit too big.

A hardcore "I want a light, tossable car, and power be damned" kind of consumer will probably only be looking at the twins and a Miata, in which case, the twins are the better option, IMO.
