Just an observation, but it seems like you're not really a fan of the FT-86. You don't like the looks, the interior, the power, the weight, or the price, and yet you still come here and post everyday. Why?
I love the concept.. meaning idea of the FT86, I love that Toyota and Subaru came together on it. I love the front, I hate the rear, I hate that it's not a liftback, the spy protoype interior it's fugly. Weight in 2012 I say 2800, for the hp 200 is meh for 2800# and that's because I can drive the wheels off a faster car in the turns.

So f'n forgive me if I'm not a TMC employee, fanboy or positively biased towards the car like the majority. I love all cars and makes, if it looks good on paper GREAT and when the thing gets into the real world and doesn't perform I will crucify the living hell out of it and not make excuses like some will. Personally I'd be disappointment because I wasn't able to spend my money on it that's been burning a hole in my pocket since 2008 for a new car. So get off my back already. I've literally owned 40++ cars in my time but not as much as a couple of guys I know who have owned 70+ cars and have raced them, some being repeat cars too.

Again forgive me for wanting the only car of it's time(currently) that I want to REALLY BUY, not read in the magazine or forums after it';s release, to be done right from the start! 2+2, small, nimble, and turbo(so I can have good mpg when I want, power when I want and 250hp(from 200hp) with a reflash/i/e).


Oh btw you missed the part about me saying $22k starting for the Cooper Coupe.
