Do you really think you average joe is gonna want something that will give them amazing handling , but will have every other guy on the block laughing at their straight line performance? NO, Americans want to have their cake and eat it too. I don't care if it can beat the 5.0 in the quarter mile but If I can't make this a 12 second car after spending 4k or so in mods... No thanks...
I know, many of you could care less and 1/4 mile times. But the fact is, if it don't go straight respectably fast. American's won't buy it.

Then, answer this. Why Miata have been selling awesomely? Cuz it's convertible? Cuz it's a chick car? Again, I'm not against turbo (I prefer NA), but that doesn't mean it need 300hp.
Believe it or not, 300hp sports cars are dying. So why Toyota wanna sell new car that fits in that spot?
