Those are pretty different cars from the FT (and from each other). Have used Elise's dropped to 20-25k (FTish pricing) yet? Last few I looked at were still around 30, but that was months ago.

Be careful with NSX's, they can be expensive to fix/maintain if the PO hasn't kept up with it.

Both are nice cars though.

As the others have said, nothing concrete has been released but I personally wouldn't expect it a year from release.. 6 months, yes, 3 months definately.

Have you guys read in picture section, Japanese thread? Go to page 2 in that thread and you will find yourself a pretty link to a magazine. Someone has already test drove it in the warehouse.

They also said that when it comes in production, the hood will be raised quite a little bit but it wont be that noticeable. Also said that the lights will be change a little bit as well.

One thing i liked about the article is the little information they gave us, for instance they said that the 2 back seats will be fold-able. They also said they can fit 2 gold bags or 4 tires in the trunk with the seats folded.

I will wait patiently for this car, when this car will be out, it will be near the end of my college life.

I believe ill have enough time to save up money for this car when it comes out so i do not have to take out a loan.

Used NSX/Elise's are still 25k-35k. I'd love either now that I have a paid off great reilable daily driver. I was more interested in the FT86 at the time because it was going to be my DD.

Well that's a good time for an Elise then Great cars but they get old as a daily driver.

I'm interested in the FT also as a daily driver.
