Here's what Toyota/Subaru needs to do to prevent the FT-86/BR-Z from becoming the "4 seater Miata".
1. Sell a crap load to all the cone dodgers and track rats for a year.
2. Release a factory warrantied turbo or S/C kit with ECU reflash and other supporting odds and ends by year two. People who want it will buy it and people who don't won't.
3. By year 5, offer something based on a somewhat bigger version of the same chassis, drop a V or straight 6 in it, and call it the Supra. Steal away some of the Mustang/Camaro and Z crowd.
In other words, the only thing this car lacks is decent power, easily rectified with a turbo from the subaru parts bin.
For those who still hold out because they want even more power (and also more luxury), bring back the Supra.
