about the FWD; well with the mindset throughout this thread it could sound ignorant. But what i meant is that FWD's can have all the power they want, but cars like the gencoupe and to much more extent the FT86 are made for RWD FUN. Hence, me saying arguing a FWD is off-point in this context.
i think the miata and gen coupe have just enough of a difference to keep that from being a reasonable comparison. im thinking that the 2 seater convertible compared to a larger 2+2 hardtop is just enough to not get cross shopped often enough to be recognized. i think the frs walks that line but this is still all just opinion.

as far as fwd goes i dont think the gen coupe is nearly as fun as an itr or even the mazdaspeed protege. the frs might be but i still doubt it...at least until i see one in real life
