I can't agree with this more. It would cost so much to get the FRS down to 2160 lbs, but to get the S-FR to 200hp would probably cost far less. Make it Toyota!

I think this could be a double edged sword for the 86 owners.. A lot of people (well that I know) came over from the miata to the 86. Now with this even more lightweight car that resembles the miata a lot more might actually get quite a bit of people to leave their 86's which in reality toyota may end up killing off the 86 because the sfr is taking in more revenue. Or it could be the complete opposite. The sfr could release and then no one buys in because it wasnt what they expected it to be. When the 86 came out it was revolutionary, a lot of japanese manufacturers werent making lightweight coupes like the 86. I believe because of the 86 more manufacturers are considering building a lightweight coupe like the 86 to compete with it. Unfortunately mostly toyota keeps trying to make an even lighter coupe. I believe with either just the release of the 86 is making more companies start going back to their roots like how mazda said they might make a 50th anniversary rx7. or how nissan dropped the isx model on us in hopes to compete with the 86 yet I dont think theyve decided to make it. I bet a lot of people will see this post and just go TLDR and say im talking just a bunch of jibberish. AND THEY WOULD BE RIGHT! I
am talking jiberish. But this is the internet and I get to say my opinions and get flamed by everyone except for 1 person. Anyways by now im also just rambling on so its time for me to end the post......
end.
