Connection is AE86 and FT86 are entry level affordable lightweight RWDs. 2000GT has always been a high end sportscar to Toyota and enthusiasts alike. Something legendary, something super like Supra or LFA. 30years from now, you will see LFA in collectors' hand and go on auction for well over a million dollars (2000GT was auctioned at 1.2 Mil in 2013), but FR-S will be at scrapyard or in hand of drift junkies.
