Can’t wait until it is revealed to get a proper look and review the specs.
Ditto. I think one thing that I really like about the 86 is the lightweight package and RWD layout it offers. Sure, it's not fast, but it's so rewarding for what it is.

Lotus makes some amazing cars, but as you point out, comparable cars are simply too expensive for my budget. The 86 is a pure driver's car and I hope the second-gen 86 carries that legacy of being retaining the lightweight playfulness.
