I'm not optimistic it'll get a second life, but I wouldn't call it a failure, more of 'proof that the internet doesn't actually buy the cars they say they want'


When I purchased my IS300 my criteria was:
1: Manual
2: RWD
3: LSD
4: small sedan
5: Japanese

That basically left me with one option, the IS300.

When I picked up the FRS I had literally the same criteria only I was willing to budge on it being Japanese. That left me with zero options other than an M3. So I budged on the extra two doors as long at it had rear seats. Which left me with one option, a Twin. The Twins may have sold well in the segment but what other options are there (not including the Miata because it doesn’t have rear seats)?
