Most of my comments about the MX5 apply to the FT86 (though I'm not expecting the FT86 to be quite as good).

I understand why some are more interested in outright acceleration. Again, to each his own.

Both offer great grip and competent handling. But I'm bewildered that someone would say they handle too well to be considered sports cars.

The FT86's back seats aren't useless for my needs. Otherwise, my comments about the MX5 layout my priorities.

I suggest we agree to disagree and move on. You're happy with cars like the GC and I'm happy a car like the FT86 is finally coming out.

Beyond that, the discussion has become repetitive and circular and you've dropped a couple (minor) insults and condescending remarks. I'm not interested in getting dragged into what will inevitably spiral into a petty flamewar (it's already moved beyond any sort of useful discussion). So I'm out. Good look to you.
