Is it just me or all of these ‘budget’ Japanese sports cars underwhelming? The gr86,brz, and wrx seem honestly overpriced for what they deliver (power wise). Hoping the 400z would be better

Let’s be thankful there’s sub 40k sports car options still around! We need to buy them so manufacturers continue to build. Pretty soon will be all EVs.

I’m absolutely hyped for the new Z and will be looking to test drive once they come out. Feels like it’s exactly what the Supra should have been, but wasn’t.

The new Z is the same chassis with more power, they haven’t released the weight but thats their downfall, I prefer the Supra

While the chassis code is the same, it's 80% new. It's more than a solid platform in the 370z so the improvements should be sufficient for track use - if that's what you're in to.

ill take the supra if they come out with a manual, otherwise I don’t want to drive a Z4

Can’t buy them new anymore; gotta look around and find a good deal. Also, make sure you go drive them for yourself if possible.

Not much to see between a Miata and a new Cayman these days, which is a bummer as a guy with some money to spend.

But the title change from Account Manager to Assistant is a big deterrent. Logically I know that it doesn’t matter, but emotionally it’s hard to feel like I am taking a major career step back?

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?

Is anyone else concerned about the direction the automotive world is heading in, and the overall bigger impact to society when no one can afford to own/have a car?

And when people can’t travel freely on their own, that will have downstream FX on society
