Only if they make an exception and throw on some good tires...otherwise, the track time won't really mean much.

Some of the comments on that website were giving me a headache. People who have never sat inside the car trying to tell others it's horrible.

Aww, look at that giddy grin!

"the grip is poor, by which I mean excellent" - Jeremy Clarkson

Heh!

Nah, I was expecting this from Clarkson since he adored the RX8 too (citing many of the strengths that the FT86 also has).

And if the three of them don't show up with an FRS, BRZ, and GT86, it'll be the biggest wasted opportunity in tv history.

The FRS is not sold in the UK and lots of us were not really aware of Scion (before the version was announced) so I doubt it will make an appearance.

I'm keeping a copy of this article in my glove compartment for whenever a friend calls the car "impractical."

In other news the Mazda CX5 won COY in Japan.........

Doesn't it just feel amazing to own a car with such recognition?
