I just don't get it why they have to put the Boxster engine instead of making their own. If Honda makes the coupe version of s2000 with the lighter chassis and a little bit of redesign, I would like to know which one would out-sell. What I'm trying to say is, they should be able to make a car as good or better performance than a 12-year-old car. I'm just worried that they are trying to make something that is barely good enough for this market and put a cheap price on it so that people would buy it. Also that's what I have seen from Honda with their CRZ. I just don't get it. I hope I'm wrong and this car would be a lot better than what I think.

the used the boxer because this car is a colaberation with Subie and you forgot that Toyota redesigned the fb20 for this application so you cant really say they just took a boxer and that was that.
While I was worried about that as well considering how long they have taken with all the R&D and testing this car has done I am sure it will be a great drivers car.
I don't understand why people are saying hey the Ft is slower than the s2k is terrible since that car has been out for 10 years already when you have to consider they are from different classes (price wise) as well as the s2k was one of Honda best engineered cars ever and just because its older doesnt mean it cant be faster than new cars.
