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...

Lol Dang Mata.
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. |
