Personally I'd love to see the old US automobile manufactures approach (Never EVER, EVER happen) where you could almost buy any combination of body/ power plants.
86 with roll up windows, no radio, back up camera, or back seat with the Avalon's V6 or the Tundra's V8.

eh, the comparison between the 86 and Toyota's sports car offerings during the 90s is poor because they used to have at least 2 or 3 different engine choices in every model. the frs definitely just lacks variants here. toyota was still doing the cosmetic only special editions during the 80s and 90s and as far as I know Lexus has never offered special editions with more power, just different suspension, wheels, body kit..but unlike the twins each lexus model does come with a healthy variety of engine/suspension choices.
btw whats wrong with having power and comfort? i love the twins but i definitely see the appeal and wouldn't mind owning any of those types of models myself
..as far as the 860, I wouldn't mind it. It is just like the previous RS models, it really mainly gives 86 fans the chance to get the better interior here in the states which was only available through the brz. watching the dyno sheet is pretty fun
