If there was a market for light weight sports cars, Porsche and others would serve it. Given how successful Porsche has been since the introduction of the 996 (at least the car building side of Porsche, if not the speculative, pseudo financial services aspect), you'd have to say in commercial terms they know exactly what they are doing.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the GT-86/BRZ. Even if it succeeds, I doubt we'll see a wider trend of back to basics, light weight sports cars.

Personally, I think the whole notion of driving on public roads for pleasure is dying going on dead as a remotely mainstream activity.

P.S. @blue2000s my main objection to your posts here was the claim that 911s keep on getting heavier. They really don't.
