FR-S = 3, FT-HS = 0
While I agree with your reality, I want to talk about the other 2.
Hybrid and electric is the future. As long as they can make it drives like conventional gasoline car, I'm ok. Hybrid also adds more power without sacrificing the MPG. There are also words about GT-R getting hybrid for next generation and SLS get pure electric. That's the direction we're heading. You can take it or walk out( yes, and walk to work too or ride gay schooter).

FT-HS has unique roof and radical design. I know they won't make it into production that way, but the styling is really unique.
