Some people just get this market segment and others just dont. Im actually surprised we get so many cars since the size of the market for people that want a lightweight sports car with low power is very small compared to other markets.
The idea is a lightweight, fun to drive and relatively affordable FR car for novices and I happen to think it does that very well. Its not exactly an AE86 which was a subcompact econobox, and its not exactly an s2000 which is a purpose-built roadster but for all of the compromises the FT86 is forced to make, its quite good.

There actually aren't many new options in this niche right now. You can go the heavier more power route, pay much more for an Elise class car (I wish), or go used.
