Exactly.

Makes you understand how good Chevy is with the Corvette, Porsche is with the 911 and Jeep is with the Wrangler. Each of them are icons and the next one is better than the previous model.

Toyota screwed this up by being lazy. They took WAY too long to return with the Supra and ended up cheaping out by making it a sibling of a German roadster. As Dr. Phil would say "What the hell are you thinking?"

Honda is doing something similar. They overthought the NSX and took way too long to reintroduce it. When they did, they lost the vast majority of buyers. It's overly complicated for the sake of being overly complicated. They got caught up in the "tech" of the day instead of producing another icon.
