the gt86/brz is the perfect example of japanese car makers ****ing it up. they could have released a turbo version a long time ago but instead stick with an underpowered engine + prius wheels and claim "itz 4 tuners n moders lol".

the only japanese car maker doing it right is nissan. they offer the 370z and GTR but i really hope they revive the silvia lineup. they recently brought back the sunny/pulsar, a performance version of that would also be neat. their infiniti branded cars are pretty good too (g37 is a good price to performance car as far as luxery sports is concerned).

edit: actually toyota is doing OK because their lexus cars are pretty good

edit2: i also should add that you folks living in the US have it so good when it comes to money. your cars are dirt cheap and your fuel prices = basically free
