If the FT/R-86/S fails to impress (God forbid) I will be probably looking towards a 370Z, pending the payment difference.

It's like asking the Supra, MR-2, Celica former owner what they drive now. Even if they make Supra right now, it won't help as much as FT-86 does because it will be expensive or even overpriced.
Just look at what Hyundai have done to their pathetic Gen Coupe. At least, it brings sport image to the brand by adding everyone-can-afford car.
Add: I don't think Toyota will give up making sport car when I see new Seinna SE and Camry SE. What they need now is a ball.
