Will it last for a Gen2, I don't know, I hope so. But I'm glad we have a Gen 1. Manufacturers build cars to make money. If the 86 doesn't accomplish that they will discontinue it.

Average Joe here. The FR-S works great for my needs.
I use my car as a freeway cruiser (going to/from work) and a grocery getter. Granted I don't buy many groceries but the FR-S works great as a daily driver. As a sports car, the Twins have a lot more practicality than strict 2 seaters (like a 370z, Miata, some Porsche models).
