Correction, it's not that they
don't make a new chassis, but they
can't make a new chassis.
Reason why Nissan idx is dead is cuz they'll loose tremendous $ and they'll be competing against Z. If they wanna compete against the twins or Miata by lighten up and lower power Z... that'll make it worse, they cannot lower the price of Z, cuz they're already loosing money as is. They cannot loose more money.
So again, Toyota didn't make twin to profit. They're already profiting from Camry and Corolla. They brought twins to bring car enthuses back on the map.
