I test drove the new Mazda RX8 and loaded it costs over 30k so not a cheap car.
Maybe the crappy Mazda 3 is cheap but not a loaded Miata or RX8 which compete with BMW, Infiniti and Lexus sport coupes.
But serious, I will have to ask my buddy who will be in Germany what the young professional guys drive who like sports cars to work on the autobahn. I’ve heard that Audis are popular in Europe and the Audi TT is a fun car- but very expensive.
