It bothers me that there is so much hate for such an amazing car. A ture and pure sportscars for us to enjoy.
This car is not suppose to be a Ferrari killer for $25k or an Evo killer. Its suppose to be as pure of a sportscar as they can legally allow it to be so that we can drive the living hell outta it. Its suppose to be an experience where driver and the car can become one entity and the driver can learn and grow with the car. Light agile affordable and fuel efficient.
This sounds like something familiar. Sounds like the great Ae86. It gives people like me who missed out on the ae86 or who haven't had the opportunity of owning one, a great chance of experiencing the ae86 in a modern package.
I for one am very pleased with this awesome opportunity that Toyota is presenting to us. They could have simply just neglected this project and never developed it, but they didn't. Tetsuya Tada and his team creating something that the car world hasn't had in years and has been desperately needing.
I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the Frs!

The AE86 came out back in 1985, 27 years ago. You weren't even born back then. It's cool to appreciate old cars but you sound like you know all about the original AE86.
