man some haters in this thread, especially the new ***s.

I personally believe from a designers point of view that its a step in the right direction. I like the FT86-II over the FT86-I.

The one thing that im more upset about is how the T&S board made a note that the FT86-I wouldn't meet regulations, so they had to raise and push back the front making the body lines all weird and less sleek but more bubbly.I think they tried their best to compensate.

The market in styling is difficult because you have a small group of enthusiasts globally vs the global general market. If the idea was to market a bold sports car to an age group of 20-35, this design was it.

Performance wise, I think its got everything that it needs to be a contender against miata and genesis. Americans however will always want more power.

From a tuner/enthusiasts point of view...I think Toyota could do better or tone it down.
I like the FT86-I better over FT86-II.
