I think R&T is smoking some good shite if they think the FT86 will weigh 3000lbs. The new 2012 Subaru Impreza with AWD and four doors weighs 2,911lbs. Not to mention the Impreza being much bigger than the FT86 and not even designed to be nimble and lightweight as its primary purpose (meant more as a people mover); I just don't see how one could really believe the 86 would be 3000lbs. Toyota and Subaru know that would be a failure at that weight. With all the talk about how much time Toyobaru has spent on just the A/C pump in getting it as light weight as possible, this car has that as a focus. So yes, if the car does not weigh less than a 2012 4-door Impreza, it will be a failure. I doubt Toyobaru would spend the better part of +3 years to release a subpar and overweight coupe.
