1) I will admit I'm totally biased towards the AE86 since I've owned atleast 5, autocrossed, tracked and drifted them, engine swapped them and probably worked on or ridden in nearly every 86 in the ontario community.
2) The FR-S was based of many cars, the AE86 falls among them
3) If there's nothing special about the AE86, the same can be argued about the FR-S, BRZ, RX7, 350Z, 240SX, and any number of other cars.
We'll just have to agree to disagree
However we can agree on one thing, that car posted in this thread is OVER PRICED
