They're still going to be heavy because of regs and whatnot, but I think they're trying to shed lbs here and there.

I think we'll see several brands jumping on the bandwagon and bringing out sporty RWH coupes AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. The price is what Toybaru has done differently. There have always been RWH sportscars at (for me at least) unaffordable prices. Putting the "86 fun" within reach of the regular Joe is groundbreaking.
IMO, the 86 could easily start a small, light, affordable, sportscar flurry like what happened in the UK in the 60's with Triumph, MG, Austin-Healey, etc.
