I get what you are saying but it hasn't hurt sales of the pony cars especially the Challenger (Chrysler sells 60k annually) which only does one thing well and that's going fast in a straight line. The reality is that few owners of performance cars track their cars so something that's mid-size or larger (Americans love big vehicles) and extremely fast in a straight line will probably satisfy more people than a slow car that handles really well like a BRZ.
