Your right to drive an internal combustion engine-powered car?

The rear-wheel drive sports car like the Z is a niche vehicle, and a $30,000 niche that's shrinking as technology in that category advances. Not enough people are buying the low-tech (normally aspirated, for god's sake!!) sports cars....they're buying in the $60k-$90k range. The Corvette has consistently sold 30,000 units a year since 2014. The Z is currently at about 6000 (2016) and it's been declining. A lot. I suspect that the only reason the Z is still alive is that the tooling and assembly line is already amortized. As technology advances and the Z doesn't, it's sales will soon fall below the level where it pays to keep it in the lineup. I think 2018 model year is a good bet.
