This makes your statement false right off the bat. I for one just got a HUGE raise. I could have afforded one before but I'm choosing NOT to buy a new car right now.

That is true, but that was then. The same reason killed the Z, and look at it now. Hell the number of supercars sold even in the 80's when everyone was loaded and coked up doesn't even compare to the amount sold now.

That's what the media wants you to think but SUV and Truck sales are on the way UP again and hybrid sales, etc are on the way down. Meanwhile the CUV market which was supposed to be the next big thing hasn't even come close to meeting the targets expect in just a few instances. These are FACTS, not my opinion.

This I agree with completely.

My point was that Nissan that much of the argument on here why Nissan doesn't com out with a new SX is because they can't or won't because it is too expensive. This car is a perfect example of how easily they can. They've already had a concept with a shortened FM platform and now they show they have the perfect engine.
