Looks like a mini dodge charger with cues from VW. The 86 sure did stir the pot. Now lots of manufacturers are trying the compact sports car genre. I hope to see more tries. The 86 is going to be a hard bargain to beat.

Unless they put that 1.6 turbo it's just going to be a midget challenger. Half the power half the weight looks the same, maybe it will handle well but meh

That's literally one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. I like the classic 510, but this is just awful. And the fact that the Nissan VP, or whatever he is, thinks the FT-86 platform is ugly makes me think that he must be on some gooood cocaine.

Its true, and they said something about a price tag of around $48k and it will be on the road within the next 3 years.

This is definitely on the radar of many potential FT86 buyers. |

I'm a little bit confused...so will we be seeing the production version of this new car next week? I assume it's coming to the US...any mention yet from Nissan of a manual transmission?

I like it but something that looks that retro might not age well.

I think after you stare at it for a while it grows on you. I think it would do fine in the market with a good price point. Anyone complaining about how the retro is potentially a bad idea should take another look at the latest camaro, and challenger. I don't see what all the fuss is about, I think shes pretty
But that interior is going to need some more work. Make it more simple! |
