Money hungry marketing, they put little effort into the whole concept to try and get alot of money out of it.
Once again Australian companies are still targeting people aged 45+, I look forward to the day that things are marketed for younger generations. Suprisingly even Hyundai are getting the idea with their new coupe being turbo and RWD and they are Korean and don't usually listen to anything but somebody finally did, not sure if it is any good though at least it is a start. There is plenty of great cars in Japan, but I think they look at Australia and go hmm retirement village, just dress up the cheap slow cars, that will keep the general population (over 45 ) happy.
Maybe in 20 yrs time, hope the AE86 can last till then.......
