Up until this mini resurgence of the Z and RX-8 (which are currently being discussed as not being renewed at the end of their run) there were no Japanese sports cars other than the Miata. Since the pony car era almost all of the mainstream sports cars have disappeared with the exception of the corvette, mustang, & the miata. The camaro and challenger are back, but they aren't selling well so who knows how long they will last.

The thunderbird, probe, charger, 'cuda, cougar, monte carlo, 442, supra, RX-7, 3000 gt, celica, mr-2, 240 sx, prelude, integra, and several more that I can't think of are all gone. The sports car is dieing which is why it is important for Toyota to get this one right so that there are cars that appeal to enthusiasts like us.

if you want to use that agurment than cars themselves have been dying as most automakers are moving towards hybirds
