It's an awesome car and I believe even beat the S2K in a race around Motegi or Tsukuba?
But it's no comparison to the 86.
I just think there's a disconnect between what people want and what this car is.
I predict a lot of used models after the first year.

FD2 Type R in Japan's retail price was actually lower than the 86!!! It was even faster than the NSX-R on tsukuba!
I paid 310k HKD for a brand new FD2, and sold it for 280k just a few months ago, I don't expect the 86 to hold value as well as the FD2 thats for sure.
Even tho both cars drives very differently, but I can't say they are not the same class. 200HP (Type R is actually 220HP, but whatever, 20HP isnt alot), lightweight, high revving engine.
Luckily, Toyota didn't made a "85", something like a 1.6L Flat 4 with 150HP
something like the RSX base.... otherwise, the FR-S would really become a RSX/Civic coupe replacement!!!
