I said less than 7 seconds to 60 is a reasonable benchmark (ideally 6 flat or just over). If the car cannot get out of it's own way, it's not going to be hit. The FT-86 is only a theoretical competitor with the Miata, which is a 2-seater roadster. The MRS was a direct competitor for that niche, and in a similar price range, and it is no longer with us. Toyota's FT-86 is going to be competing with other sporty cars that cost about the same (inlcuding, ironically, the Subaru variant) -- period. That is the market. It will be too expensive for the Scion crowd who will continue to buy coilovers for their hideously ugly, slow toasters. Quote:
If not, do everyone in your neck of the woods a favor and stay off the fucking road. All right, I'm done annoying everyone with my unpopular views But... I have one more prediction: If the car becomes notorious for being underpowered, 75% of owners will build and turbo it within the first 2 years. And the other 25% will envy them |

The worst is watching, feel and listening to a girl try to deal with a heavy duty clutch for the first time......

You original reply sounded like a generalization, which prompted my reply. Quote:
My wife drove our 6spd 350z daily to work. The stigma about "chick car" is played out. Everything below a GTR is pretty much a chick car, and everything above a GTR that's a family sedan or luxury vehicle is a Soccer mom car. Face it gentlemen, women have good taste. |

Thanks for the pic! From the front angle like this, it reminds me of a a narrow GTR. I don't like how the raised fenders make the hoodline look sooooo much higher. This car looks swollen, like a GTR... It reminds me of the picture below.
Hopefully, they'll go back to v1 as it looks like it could be a light weight car and not a heavy puffer-fish... |

And as soon as the cops start harassing you because you have an aftermarket exhaust and the car is dropped, you will soon realize you should move back. |

Asuza seems like a nice and quiet city though, love that it's got a great view and is surrounded by mountains. I still would have to say I'm jealous of west coast. I was looking into those housing developments that's happening over there, 300K for a big single home is a good price compared to the expensive houses here in DC, 300K will buy you a small town house here. Though the law on cars over there is tougher I believe. |
