You seem to be caught up in the romanticism of the old-timey sports car. Uncomfortable, unreliable, and unwanted by the vast majority of today's buyers. They are cool cars, fun to have as an occasional driver, and worthy of restoration. But if Porsche were making the equivalent of a TR6 today, well... it's likely there would be no Porsche.

Hi,

I respect your opinion, but think you missed my point. Those earlier Cars were Sports Cars, they defined the Breed.

Today's Sports Cars, with a few exceptions, have strayed away from that definition without redefining it. They are Sports Cars by Marketing and Concensus. That alone doesn't make them so...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
