Don't get me wrong - I love my recently-purchased 2013 FR-S in Whiteout, but there are far fewer choices today if you want a newish sports car (that can also be a daily driver) with low mileage, maybe a warranty, and a reasonable cost of ownership. Even more recent cars like the S2000 have already slipped out of this threshold. 350Zs are still out there, but un-abused low mileage cars are slipping away, 370s are still expensive and full of compromises, and V8 Mustangs and Camaros are overpriced for what they are.

I have to disagree with that last point. Under $35k and over 425hp (with a lot of room to grow), are pretty good figures these days. And in the end, after TTL, I spent roughly $5k more than my wife did on her FRS.
The cash cow are all those v6's, which are overpriced and are everywhere. I think the V8 Mustang & Camaro are almost as niche as the Twins; I'd say I see one of the Twins about as much as I see the American V8's.
On that note, the 5th Gen is done (no more orders) and it's ready to move towards its classic status. Bring on the 6th gen!
