Yes, I know he's been over exaggerating. BUT reading over and over his 1% BS, after a while, I get sick of reading it.
Current consumer want nice gas saver. Don't want any pig gas sucker. Consumer want dd car that looks nice & get good gas mileage. Z, yes it look awesome, but gas mileage? HA! you can forget about that.
Also most ppl I've talk to in Japan hate Z. It has so much needless low end tq, it's pain in the ass to drive in regular road in Japan. 1/4 mile? only straight big road in Japan is payway (freeway isn't really free in Japan). So ppl in Japan gonna care about that? Ha, doubt that.
My point is Jordo need to stop thinking only US! Z & Stang blah blah blah has good point and give him for that, but that's only for US and limited consumers and not all the consumers. Don't state that is a fact of the world.
