Tetsuya always had the idea of this being an expansion platform. I don't think this ever was a "one off" design. The FRS that you know today is just the primary offering. They already mentioned a desire to expand the line in the same way Mini has and in the same way Fiat has.

The company is aiming the sports sedan at parents who learned to drive on Japanese sports cars of years gone by, namely the Toyota AE86, Honda S2000, Mazda RX-8 and Nissan 200SX.
“It’s just my personal dream that the GT86 could become a family like what BMW has done with the MINI family. I hope that happens,” wrote Tada in a blog post.
So basically, the the FRS has nothing to do with only being a lightweight sports coupe.

And because I :heart: haters....

More 4 door versions of great coupes:












And finally, a sedan and coupe in 1!!! wait what?

Coupe/Sedan? Coudan? Sedoupe?
