35 years ago the original GTI was a fwd hatchback with a bigger engine than the bread and butter. which is basically what the current GTI is.
the R32 (or R) being 4wd etc were never what the original GTI was.
getting back on topic, personally my view is (or my hope is), FT86 to come in 2 models. a basic starting at $35k + onroad and a loaded for around $40-45k + on road.
there is no way it will sell at Corolla/Rukus $$ and anything over $50k is dreaming (megane or Sirocco R are much better car selling near that price point).
in terms of powers and feature, FT86 will be similar to Civic Type R (FN2). i just hope Toyota is not as greedy and starts at $39,990 + on road (that's not what i call affordable sports car).
just give me a basic car at cheap price with air con, steelies, no airbags and even stereo. i am getting aftermarket stuff anyway.
