Some of the comments on that website were giving me a headache. People who have never sat inside the car trying to tell others it's horrible.

"the grip is poor, by which I mean excellent" - Jeremy Clarkson
Heh! Nah, I was expecting this from Clarkson since he adored the RX8 too (citing many of the strengths that the FT86 also has).

And if the three of them don't show up with an FRS, BRZ, and GT86, it'll be the biggest wasted opportunity in tv history. |

The FRS is not sold in the UK and lots of us were not really aware of Scion (before the version was announced) so I doubt it will make an appearance.
