I also felt like this car had a lot in common with the RX-8. And it does. As many stated, the reliability issues and many other complications that came along with the RX-8 kept many away from it. I test drove one, thought it was a fun car. Did some research, and decided to stay AWAY. And I'm very thankful that I did - I was to be using the car for daily driving and reliability was a huge factor, and not to mention the absolutely horrible mpg and lacking power.

The FT86/FR-S/BRZ appears as though that it will fall in between the Miata and the RX-8. It will handle great, feel good etc. It won't be the fastest car in the pack, but maybe it'll be more reliable, be cheaper, and get better mpg than the RX-8.
