Nah. Post the image again. You're not breaking any rules here. People are just expressing their opinions.

I'm a huge fan of quick steering, which is one reason I didn't keep my FD RX-7 or my 987.2 Cayman. I'm not at all worried about this change, it's not a big deal.

The steering in my FD is by far the biggest point of hatred for me. More than the 14.2 mpg. Slow ratio, bus diameter, and overboosted. If the chassis wasn't so good, the FD wouldn't be so loved.


I often cruise at 80mph and I don't feel a hint of nervousness in the wheel. Guess I'm just not average. Also, the average person has an awful alignment. Manufacturers should be publicly shamed for alignment specs that tolerate toe out.

Body lines looking great

Looking forward to seeing these in person, and getting to drive one!

Also is anyone else liking the the white GR86 more than expected, I usually don't like white cars and thought it looks rather good.

Can the definition of "soon" be stretched to 6+ months? Last I heard November was the optimistic delivery date.

It's an opinion thing. I still think the first-gen looks better for its simplicity.

I certainly wouldn't call the body lines a "hack job," though.

You would usually be right with that assertion but in this case, he's just the local cry baby.

I have no idea how you can call all the protrusions on this design "cleaner", but then I've never really understood the use of that term anyway.
