I don't think the idea of a back to basics sports car will ever die. They could just try to make the existing product better. A factory adjustable coilover kit for street and light autox/track use could be a nice idea. Maybe they could also promote worldwide some motor sport events in similar fashion with the Gazoo 86/BRZ events. However, they had to be open for the public. Not the closed events that we have here in Germany, or the ones they are preparing in Australia.

The thing is that Mr. Tada was a true believer and I am not sure if his replacer shares the same values. If the current team cannot decide on the next big thing, then it looks to me that they are far away from the original idea.
