Nissan and Toyota didn't make a *bitch* move, they cut out cars that weren't making them money.. They aren't in the business to keep a handful of enthousiasts happy, they're in the business of making money from selling cars. If theres no money in a segment, they're not going to bother with it.

As for the lack of boosted engines, the current 350z/G35 coupe make a substantial amount more power than the old twin turbo 300zx did stock, and to the vast majority of their consumers stock is what matters.. To the handful that want more power, the aftermarket companies are there to help(look at 'hollywoodG35', twin turbo G35 coupe).

IMO putting a boosted 3.5L in a FWD car is just plain stupid, it already makes ALOT of power for a FWD car, on boost it would just be ridiculous.
I am sorry sir, I wasnt aware I was not allowed to have an opinion.

Yes, Toyota did make a bitch move. Corola for example. RWD to AWD to FWD w/ no power. And now its gone. Toyota has no more sports car. So imo, bitch move. And I'm quite aware those cars were never marketed here, and thats why I think Nissan has a problem, because there is a definite market for it, and you would be an ignorant fool to believe otherwise.

So piss off.
