Can't hate it.

I like the white/navy interior, but the yellow rug should get the axe or definitely get changed up. The iphone holder is pretty cool as well as the white the dash. Along with the seats, the trunk, and wheels this 86 looks ready for the beach. So my take on it is the car looks cleaner and from that it does seem more geared to the females (as we didn't notice from the video).

Looks great, but a soft top is FAIL... Even Mazda can manage a pretty nice PHRT nowadays

I like the look. Gives more options....

Glad they probably, and I say probably, won't be offering this in the US. Otherwise I'd try to convince my wife to get it.... So I can keep my BRZ and drive this sometimes, lol.

looks better with a roof is all I have to say. The proportions seem a bit off for the convertible.

And suddenly the 86'es seems a lot less cool...

Sorry but, bleh I dunno about this. Aside from the technical issues of chopping the roof of an existing car, it just, doesn't fit the car's character at all... I feel like making it a four seater takes it away from S2000/Miata territory where it probably should be and is dropping it into Eos/200/Mustang convertible territory.

I have a hard time taking this thing seriously as an enthusiast machine and I suspect it won't turn on a lot of the original target market. I think it jeopardizes he car's original personality.

It is just my opinion but whereas I get excited when I see another FR-S or BRZ on the road, if I see this thing coming my way I fear my first reaction will be "Oh god, I hope they don't see me."

I dont like how the back end lumps up, otherwise it looks very good, not that I would buy it of course.

Oh good!

A drift car with an open top that keeps your pu$$y cool with a nice breeze in the hot summer months.

Maybe above 80mph it will blow the sand out.
