You are correct, the Gen Coupe is a pig. However, have you noticed something?
240sx was not the lightest car in its day, and by todays standards its a hollow tin cash piece of shit death trap.
Also, in case you forgot, a base POS Single Cam 130hp Coupe cost $13,000 in 1989, thats $23,000 today.

harsh remarks aside, I agree it's not likely that we'll have anything remotely comparable to the old 240sx.
One can only hope we'll get something close enough, and really the GC is a great effort
(doubt Nissan will top the GC even if they came out with something)
if you prefer something more nimble, there's always the miata.
that really is going to be as close as you can get in terms of specs & pricing.
a new miata is likely to be also a better car, minus the interior room.
To be fair a lot of cars today are just so much better than the stuff in the 90's.
No sane person would take an 89' usdm 240 over a GC for the same amount of $$.

It'll be interesting to see how many ppl on Zilvia are willing to commit to this
I just think it's strange how so many complain that the Z is too expensive (around 32-34k ?), but this is totally justified.
While I think it's good to discuss the pros and cons of cars, I think it's also good to refrain from too much bandwagoneering.
