I was planning on getting the after graduating from Grad school, and I've been unbelievably excited about it since we first saw concept photos and I saw the Gran Turismo video.

I was originally afraid/bummed/not gunna get one if it was branded Scion, only because, like everyone else here I'm sure, I hate the image Scion owners get/have.


All in all however, I am still looking at it fondly.


Dealbreakers for me would be:

* Nerfed specs (< 150 hp, no turbo)
* >$22,000 sticker price tag

I am also really hoping they make a model with a manumatic/tiptronic system. (I haven't been following in the past 6 months or so, so I am in the dark regarding everything save for the potential Scion name)


I will prolly be selling my Celica to my little sister, so if the FT86 disappoints, I will probably look into a used S2000 or Miata, or perhaps a new Mini Cooper. I'm also planning on getting my Class M license this summer, so that will be taken into account as well.
