too true about the big nissan - they DO seem to fade away.
Possible exception being the early 90's twin turbo 300z.
Still a surprisingly fast car that you still have to pay over 10g's
for IF you can find one. If history is any indicator - nissan will throw a turbo or 2 or a supercharger at the 350z about the same time mazda does the same with the rx8. m3's and boxsters will
will be about as exciting as a honda accord then !

nothing and i mean NOTHING will ever improve the hideousness that is the RX-8. Mazda was on crack when they designed and produced that car. I dont think i have ever in my life seen such an ugly "sports" car -- i would have to back to the 78 Vette, but at least that was cool at the time.

Hmmm...perhaps we're missing the point here...

Hmmh...to me an old 1987 911 Carrera 3.2 is more exciting than a current 350Z...not sure we have the same understanding of what exciting is :-)
