Admittedly, I don't follow Initial D all that closely, but by the looks of it, the series is still focusing on cars from the late 80's and early 90's. And that makes me wonder -- isn't the author just targeting an increasingly shrinking audience base?

Even with the grand daddy of anime series -- MS Gundam -- new stuff keeps coming out, even if the idea of Gundams is re-hased over, and over, and over again. And even if they were to re-visit some of the older timelines, producers there still do variations and modifications meaningful enough to differentiate the new series from the old series. So in Initial D's case, wouldn't it make more sense if the current GT86 races against some of the current counterparts -- RX8, R35, NC Miata, FD2, S2k, Evo X, GE / GP Impreza etc.?
