I've been lurking since the FR-S was revealed, finally decided to register after reading this article. I've got to say that them saying it's a trunk is a huge disappointment for me. I was really hoping for a liftback style for convenience purposes.

A few things I did like though: no sunroof, handling sounds great, body designed around the chassis.

Here's to hoping that it's a bit lighter than 2800lbs. Even 2700 would be good enough I think, though 2600 would be right on the money.

The price is not an issue for me, as long as the interior does not reflect a cheap car. To be honest, I'd prefer it being a bit more expensive than most are hoping for. It's attainable, but it will ward away some of the less desirable crowd from buying. Maybe I'm a selfish douche though.
