We are not talking about ignoring the mass of cars as the very existence of the 86 shows that some people are still listening. Will we see the days of many different models of cheap, light, sports car return? No, they are gone but that does not mean that nobody will ever make one or two models again. They just won't be as light and if they are they won't be as cheap. It is simple economics that not enough people buy them. Even those that are worried will save a few bucks and buy a used one. As I have said several times here people that are whining about the demise of the light weight car need to put their money where their mouth is and go buy them. Not used since the company makes zero money that way. Buy new ones and show them there is a market or STFU and stop complaining they are disappearing.

I respectfully disagree that everyone with an expensive car could care less about the expense of owning said car. I work for a privately owned company capable of building a 21 million dollar building simply shaving a little profit over two years. Not a dime financed. The 3 owners are making around 30 million a year each. They all own multiple exotic cars but no joke they will spend a week trying to decide if we should buy 100 RFID cards at $20 or higher quality ones that you can print on better for $300. They agonize over expenses that even I don't think twice about. One of the owners once told me that once you spend a penny you will never see that penny again. To think rich people get rich by not caring about spending money is nievie at best. Not everyone inherits money from their daddy and blows it all without batting an eye. I do agree that there are many who don't give a damn about consumables or expenses but I suspect they ALL have a desire for a lighter car regardless of consumable cost.
I am out though, I see in your next post your moving towards personal attacks.
