Two words... Stupid decisions.

Japanese sports cars are brilliant but they never really let them be great because at some point in the design they make at least 1 big stupid decision. They need to FIX THAT.

Toyota made a really good car for the "enthusiasts" but they need to make a really good enthusiast car that also ticks boxes for average-non-enthusiast folks as well.

Maybe Mazda will get it right with Alfa for the next Miata.. Maybe Alfa will get it right by designing a car but letting the Japanese cover reliability. Maybe Kia with stinger or Nissan with the IDX.

So Japan, fix your stupid decisions and you'll sell a lot of sports cars.

JUST FIX IT!
