FT-86/BRz v. Renault Fuego Turbo

Trying to decide between an FT-86 and a Fuego Turbo.



132HP, suspension tuned for radial tires, ribbed mouldings, big TURBO decal.

Has anyone driven both?

The Renault is front wheel drive, which is supposed to be better in snow.

I think chick's will dig the name, "Fuego." What's not to like?

This is a good looking motor, right?

Good thing you posted a pic, I wouldn't even know what a Fuego is short of Wikipedia. Are you tired of all the comparisons? I can see no other reason for this thread.
