I dont really agree with majority of this article starting with design and materials. Though the design looks much better in person than in pictures or video, I cant help but feel that this refreshed face will not age well. The additional "aggression" they've added is quite disruptive to the flow of the design especially when you assess everything from body and fender to nose of the facia. The headlights are very reminiscent of FT86 concept 2 lights so I do like them but not as much as the original GT86 lights. The "subtle" badges of 86 are not really that subtle when they're literally plastered everywhere throughout the car. This granlux material is very nice to the touch but unless you're really good at maintaining materials like alcantara, suede and etc i can see this actually being a con in the long term (for those of you guys who have experience with dirty alcantara/suede, you know what i'm talking about). Then again, these are just my opinion and I suppose its different strokes for different folks.
Also in regards to topic of power on the streets... Since I've neither driven anything above 200hp or track my FR-S my opinion may differ from majority, but i have never felt that this car had inadequate amount of power or torque for daily driving. Most people dont really rev their engines to their peak torque/hp on normal roads so if i downshift im usually accelerating enough to be able to pass most people...
