Spoon entering the GT-86/FR-S/BRZ market is great! Honda hasn't had anything to be excited about since the S2000 went away.

There actually was an NB Miata coupe that went on limited sale in Japan. It was a 2004 model I believe. I actually went to Tokyo Auto Salon that year and got a brochure for the production version of this car. This is a page from said brochure. Would have been cool if it made it to the US.

That's not the spoon HT. Close but not the same. That picture is most likely a model. Look at the cheap side mirrors.

and Mines is right. They did make a Miata coupe

Oh and somebody is missing something in this new world of low cost RWD cars....there is no sedan....

Scion\Toyota\Subaru...make a sports sedan version of the FT86!


Honda you could one up everybody if you did that first...come out of the next generation integra, but make it RWD in a coupe and a sedan...sell it for like $25-28k and kill it!
You know what would be sick is if the 2015 accord was RWD. I know I would be buying a stick V6. 4door.

No No No weren't they SR20 motors that pulled a premium before Race Wars?

TO OP: Aye if we can get more companies to work on FRS/BRZ, better for us
