I would have bought a GT86 RC if they were available in the states. So that makes one person. lol. However, I also tried to buy my car without a warranty....(they didn't let me).....so I may be an abnormal consumer.

I think the next gen needs to keep the cost around 30k. IMHO, the twins aren't worth any more than that and they aren't supposed to be. The second they started adding luxuries like hill assist and auto-leveling headlights and all that nonsense they lost the ideal of this car. Which was cheap, lightweight, no frills fun. Like a newer version of a 90's-2000s rwd sports car.

I hope they give us a truly stripped down version of the next gen. I don't think this is the popular opinion but it is what drew me to buying a twin. I am not against having a "Premium package". Just make sure there is a cheap gt86 RC edition for all of the people that don't care about sound deadening and stereo systems.

Then again, all of those luxuries are signs of the times. I just might be the crazy one.
