There is getting to be more high performance competition out there too. I don't know the exact year, but a neighbour has a pretty nice Nissan GTR, 530 hp twin turbo awd, AND a back seat. It has big wheels and tires and when he fires it up, you know immediately that it isn't any regular Nissan. He drives it summer and winter and has family so a two seater won't get the job done unless he wants to have two cars around. As Riley mentioned, the economy certainly isn't helping either.
