As people have stated above, nothing to compare.
1. RWD>FWD
2. New Civic SI fails with regard to design IMO.
3. FT-86 should be lighter than the '11 Civic SI.

I feel it's difficult to find cars to compare with the FT-86. The closest cars are either 2-seater convertibles, expensive luxury coupes, or high-power overweight coupes. The FT-86 is not going to be in any of those categories (or at least the car was not planned to).

That article talking about the Accord-based sports car Honda is "thinking" about making could be promising, but then I read that it was going to be FWD... (refer to point 1 above). Yes, they may make an SH-AWD version, but I don't like it (we have an MDX). If I wanted an AWD car, Subaru would be my choice.

Although, the new rumors about Honda restarting their NSX project is exciting news. But I hope they learned from their CR-Z mistake and steer away from hybrid-(wannabe)sports cars.
