This.
It shows not many peeps test drove or researched the car first. They just hoped in, floored first and 2nd and thought it was a GTR, so they bought it.
I hope the FR-S makes it at least 3(+?) generations like the Corolla or Celica.

Here, a visual aid:
The front axles would have to share the same space as the #3 and #4 cylinders. The only way to make an AWD system fit would require raising the engine and transmission. That would mean raising the hood and transmission tunnel.
So let's say they do that... Now the seating position has to be higher in order to see over the hood and have the shifter/center console in a comfortable position. Now we need a taller roof line. Gotta raise the trunk line now to keep the car from looking silly. And with making the whole car taller, we need to make it longer or again, it won't be visually appealing and sales will be lost. |
What about deleting the rear seats (lol rear seats) for space? Also, I'm no architect or engineer but if they could make the Evo less than 180inches in length with a 4 wheel drive system, there is hope for our 167 inch car. In terms of engine staying the same, and other stuff... i dont know. I do know if the engineers would wanna change the car, they could. I just dont see why... Sure, there's times I'd want it to be 300hp but then I dont remember ever not complaining about something in one of my other cars... Complained my old skool Celica was not as good in mpg as I hoped (17-23 vs 30-40), my Corolla couldnt beat a Dodge Viper, and my thunderbird was not manual... There's always something someone don't like. I say the FR-S is fine for the price it has. Love how aerodynamic it is at 90mph....dont ask how I know... XD Fat and the furious.
