All the COTY finalists thought outside the square, brought something new to the table, with excellent execution.

The 86 opens the floodgates to other manufacturers to produce similar cars. This is a very good thing.

The new and developing technologies previewed in other COTY finalists will hopefully prompt mored development and advancement.

I'm not detracting from what the car is, but what is gives is also very important. It offers a "poor mans cayman" into a segment usually dominated by manic hatches.
