To an extent but this width is GT class, the wheelbase is long also.
I'm just saying this is more a GT than a sports car and Toyota agrees. It went from being named the FT-86 to
GT-86.
If you ever driven go-cart sprint type sports car (the MRS is the perfect example.) You would understand what I am trying to say.
Another example is this car feels much more GTish than the good Miata's. Its not what I would consider a tossable/handles like a go cart british car.
If you've ever driven a E30 BMW, Porsche 944S, 240Sx, even 240z this car is similar. If you are interested compare the curb weight, dimensions, and power to weight ratios of those cars to this, very similar.
As far as sales dropping off, there comes a point where sales drop too fast. They need to listen to their customers.
