Its really silly actually. Toyota has given you the car the FT-86 is based off of without any confusion on communication. Its modeled after the AE86. You guys sound like you want a Celica / Celica Supra successor based off your wants of mid range torque, etc. (hey, the R series engines were GREAT at torque! ) That would be awesome to see, but this isn't the car filling that role currently.

I understand where you're coming from but I wont be buying this car. You're also right about this car being geared more towards the AE86 crowd. That's not what I want.
