Let's see what we have so far... 2 liter turbo 4 seater with a hard top. I'd say this is the closest car thing to the proposed FT86 I know of.

Then tell me why everyone seems hellbent on bringing up the S when comparing this thing to something. You are the very first person that's mentioned a S15.

I don't know... The FT just sounds a lot like an S chassis to me? But I love the S15.

Again I ask the question, if that is the case then why does everyone bring up the S every chance they get in comparison?

I was seriously considering trading the S in for one but when I test drove it, I felt very disconnected from the car. The interior was just too big for me. When I sit in my S, everything wraps around you and you feel connected to the car and the road. In the Genesis, it was just too big that you felt no connection at all.
