Anyway I really like the GT86, it was my goal to get one from the moment they announced it (before i got my rx8). However, considering the amount of cash I would need to give to get one which isn't an upgrade, makes you think 
I would prefer better mileage and all that but it doesn't make sense to spend thousands of dollars (or euros in my case) for minimal savings on gas :P
Maybe when they enter the used car market  |
Yeah honestly I agree. They're very comparable in terms of overall performance and intent (handling over power), so if you have the initial investment taken care of with the RX-8 and are comfortable with the different maintainance requirements of a rotary, there's really no reason to "upgrade" to a BRZ/FR-S/86 GT.
