The demonstrations are ongoing across USA. No rest for America.

What did the instructor say was wrong after? Throttle input too much at times?

Sales are high in Asia though. Even in countries with high taxes. The BYDs, MGs have had decent reviews. Youre not going to survive in todays market without an EV/Hybrid division. Fine if EVs go the way of 3D Tvs in 2035. This moment in time 28% market share with Model Y doing the highest numbers in the West. Funny thing is people in certain countries with lack of stable Electricity are still buying Teslas. Lol EV goes away in 2035 but we are in the UK. Youre still going to pay £995 road tax for your funky ICE sports car regardless and the Irish will pay £3000. Because the govts can charge under the guise of climate.

Unfortunately its all going EV. If UK was a tropical country youd bank on Ethanol to keep ICE going. Even in the Sports segment. Theres new players in line like Longbow. Their concept looks interesting. Even the hypercars are hybrid now. Thats where it'll end up I'm guessing. Also the new Z didnt get much interest here. I saw a few imported GR86. Tbh With the low interest in the sports car segment I cant blame them for concentrating on SUVs. Theyre in dire straits and need to recover. But if Nissan had vision or a bit of volume sales they would have enough cash to invest like Toyota to make new petrol sports cars albeit with a lower displacement. MR2, Celica and new LFA (most likely Hybrid). With next gen 86 being in joint development with Mazda. The changes required and hoops needed to bring new ICE cars that dont sell huge numbers not worth it. Nissan market share has been lost To Chinese phonemakers and Chinese EVs. Thats their fault. What could have been Nissan now belongs to Xiaomi, BYD and SAIC MG. Xiaomi released a 4 door saloon in April 2024. They just sold their 300,000th car few days ago lol. Something Nissan could have done. Automated factory. Press one button start to finish. New CEO lets see what he proposes next. Most likely going to be a smaller compact hatchback. I doubt itll be ICE when Renault already have a hatchback thats EV. To survive as a business now you need to diversify. Nissan didnt go full steam ahead with their EV side and poor quality was abundant. So now theyre struggling to find a way back.

Change of management as Uchida stepped down. New proposed projects. Looking to survive without a merger?! https://www.topgear.com/car-news/business/nissan-exec-who-wants-build-affordable-sportscar-now-boss

Lol, who wants normal. Everything looks dated next to this block. Road presence is there for sure.

All good. You considering a 370 to add? Interesting that when you parked the Cayman next to the 370 the rooflines were at l similar height. Just the design of the 370 makes it look bulkier. Anyway its still a decent looking car. Always nice to see them despite its current £730 tax on older models. Nice to see post 17 prices have crashed. My friends Nismo mk1 is up at 13k. High miler.

I was referring to headphones post. Lol

2 350Z? Switch it up. Get a 370Z as well.

Toyota not done yet. Number 1 manufacturer to revive 3 sportscars apparently. Lets go! https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/33540515/toyota-sports-cars-celica-mr2-supra-lexus-lfa/

Probably temporary.
