When posting the video, it obviously occurred that it WAS a bit off topic. Hence the Celica tag etc. The first time I saw the video, I could see the lines, heritage and inspiration of the 86/FRS stemming from this car as well, hence the post.

Strictly speaking, yes off topic. Does it add value seeing it to an 86/BRZ/FRS enthusiast? I think it does. But that's just my opinion.

Will be more careful next time :thumbup:

That's not my point... your video had nothing to do with the main purpose of this particular sub-forum.

Even the chief engineer of the car admitted the styling of the car was borrowed from the 2000GT coupe, and not from the first-gen Celica.

If you can see the heritage in the Celica, then I can see the heritage of the FT-86 concept car from a resurgence of drifting brought about by the 180SX. Both are difficult to prove, and your position is as hard to believe as mine is.

Anyhow, in a perfect world you would 1) post this thread, and I would 2) voice a complaint about it, and 3) the mods would move it.

I have yet to see any moderator fix these badly placed threads with any zeal. It's almost like they don't care for these off-topic threads in the wrong section.

It would've been done already, but I broke my hand last week so it's at a stand still for a bit.
