There are plenty of cars out there that will be much quicker than the FR-S. Personally I'm not interested; let them be quicker. We're not buying a Bugatti Veyron here, we're buying a sexy coupe' version of a Miata. It's all about momentum, not power.
Now, if Toyota had the balls to come out with a turbo-Diesel FR-S, I'd be all over it! Ever since VW cancelled the Bluesport Roadster and Audi R4, I'm still waiting for someone to belly up and make a proper Diesel sports car. That's the current recipe for have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too.

I'm not a big fan of Ford,the Camaro is okay but I like the FRS better and hope later Toyobaru comes up with something a little more than 158hp. If not I'll look elsewhere. Probably the Nissan 370Z. If there is a demand they will make it and who knows maybe that is in the works in a year or two.
