Hmm.. Tesla Model S will just cost a little more than the 86 in Norway. Extreme taxes on the 86, ZERO tax on electrical cars (at the moment). That makes a low spec Tesla S cost the same as the GT86.
I think this decade will be most know for introducing alternative engines and hybrid solutions. Next decade might start to be the end of the normal combustion engine.. who knows..?
In 2030 we will be looking back at this decade.. Good times.. GT86, high reeving NA petrol.. Full control over stability systems... etc..  |
Not to mention we're coming to the end of manual transmissions as we've known them. Modern automatic slushboxes are just as fast (if not faster) than manual transmissions, and are now getting better fuel economy. And for the die-hard performance enthusiasts (the last holdout of support for manuals in America), double-clutch flappy-paddle gearboxes are faster still, and getting cheaper and more common all the time.
Mark my words: by the 2020 model year, there won't be but maybe one or two cars still in production with a third pedal, and even those probably wont be on sale in America.
