I'll take the hit for you guys. I'm buying the first day (after a test drive of course ).

If there are any problems with the first year models, oh well, that's what the warranty and recalls are for.

And a lot of aftermarket companies give you free parts if you donate your car for testing and fitting of their new products!

I'm quite disappointed that Top Gear mentioned that the "Infiniti Etherea" was going to be at the Geneva Motor Show on their latest episode (S16E05), but nothing on the FT-86. :[

Topgear never mentioned ft86 afaik.. Only 2 times mentioned in the topgear Australia magazine and both times it was just rumor crap. Last one even said it will have a 110kw 2 engine or the 2.5 as a option so I didnt even bother mentioning it here. Again it had the awd rumor as well.. This months issue in the upcoming car section...

Honestly, I want to wait if there is a new trim will be coming mid year or second year of production. If I get NA on the first year, and Turbo come on the 2nd year( I know that I can get aftermarket Turbo, but I want to avoid doing that), I'm fked up.

actually they did mention it on the show right after it was released! i remember watching it

if i remember correctly it went

"and heres finally something exciting from Toyota... blah blah...looks good..blah blah....toyota if your watching please make this car"

ok so i cant remember what was said exactly, BUT it was along those lines and I GUARANTEE that it was on there!!
