Wow i'm stunned, I would have thought the FT-86 would be closer to the size of the Genesis Coupe, definitely a surprise to me to see these numbers/pics...

Hey, could some one throw an overlay vs the Audi TT up there? I think they are pretty similar in size.

Come to think of it, haven't seen the Miata either.
