I think R&T are looking more at the price tag than anything else.

I initially liked the GTR then I saw some pics of it next to previous generations, and even looking at the pics in that article it looks like a tank rather than a nimble sports car. That thing is huge and I just do not like how big it is.

It's time to figure out a way to "add lightness", including all of required safety equipment, and do so at a reasonable cost. This is where the next performance automotive breakthroughs should be focused, IMO.
Lotus has done this with its Elise and Exige and other car companies need to design and produce a back to basics lightweight sports car that can go as fast as the big cars with lots less power and better fuel economy.
