Come on all manufacturers! We need you guys to be inspired by this car and its simplicity / beauty / affordabilty, which there is still a demand for... I feel.

Although I certainly want to see more competition for this car, I feel that it may be too late for them. Toyota/Subaru have done such a good job with this car at this price point that it's hard to imagine competition arising that could out-do it. Not to mention, this car will likely only get better in time with minor revisions over the years. But never the less, I still think manufacturers are better off making affordable RWD or AWD sport coupes vs. more stupid hot hatches and grocery getters.
So yeah, like I had been saying for years, it wasn't that there isn't a market for sports cars anymore, it's that they've just been doing it wrong for so long. They were either too expensive, too impractical/inefficient, too ugly, or just not that good/fun. The Toyota 86/BRZ proves that this was true by doing it right.
