Remember the SVX? 3000 GT? I'll bet Subaru and Mitsubishi do. Since the 90s Japanese supercar boom, only Nissan and Mazda have produced a sports car (excluding the NSX, and the Eclipse isn't a sports car). Notice too that the RX8 and 350Z are much more affordable sports cars than their 90s heritage. Those were expensive flops for the Japanese companies, my guess is that it has a lot to do with why we haven't seen more of them since. And really, why should they bother? They have sports car beating sedans, why sink the cash into a sports car? Especially Mitsu, they're teetering on the edge anyway.
