i personally think that it stays along that little gray line inbetween. boxter is stupid, audi tt is stupid, g35 coupe will be a family car, and the 350 will be a two seater GT coupe. look at the miata. they could have made that car much faster and more cutting edge but they didnt. they went more with the british MGB route of a fun little car. the 350 doesnt have to be the end all of sports cars to make it good. it will do what it was designed to do, and do it very well. i dont think nissan, toyota, or honda ever wanted a title of 'super car builder' ..that was more of a aftermarket and following label. imho...super car is 500k+ car(s) that are true super cars. not a 30k econ car.
