I remember seeing mockups at the time I had mine, it was brilliant:

That's a beautiful rendering.


People often complain that Japanese car makers produce designs that are "created by committee," rather than cars that are the fruit of a single vision. If this complaint has merit, the S2000 was an exception. It was offered as a "Here's your car. Pick your color and shut up." kind of deal. Rather than see it for what it was, some people insisted on the fast food option of "Have it your way." And they are doing the same thing with the FT-86. They got excited about the car when it was developed as a dedicated sports car. Now, they want it to be a comfortable daily driver as well. Seems pretty immature to me.
