F*#k there putting some serious effort into this car... I cant wait... I hope as much as others will disagree/hate that this car comes in around the $30k US mark and not the low $20k... I dont want them skimping out on anything..... Just seems this car is getting better and better......

"The FT-86 II’s restyle keeps the original concept’s basic silhouette but lifts the nose, a move forced by pedestrian impact regulations."
That's BS. Screw the pedestrian impact regulations.

I'm sorry the whole thing I got from that article is that the photoes (ie the ppl in the background) look remarkably similar to hachirokus..
And the thing that stuck out the most was the last bit about the differences between the Toyota and subaru versions it's what iv been saying from day one. Badge engineering ppl: lights change which slightly changes the hood/bumper/fender :p

Mr. Nagaya, I get the changes. However, that doesn't explain the rear. Put back the original tail end from concept 1, rework the front fenders (more like concept 1, and get rid of those ugly vents) and IMHO, that'd be perfect thanks. |

Its not matadors fault. He has been waiting for his FT-86 almost as long as me and is a bit on edge.... Cutting yourself and taking ur frustration out on the keyboard is not the answer Matador... (^.^)

If it's around the 30k mark it better come with a 2.0T Boxer/Sport pkg and a nice interior with soft touch plastics galore and aluminum trim with nice leather. It's not like this car is based of a new platform and a totally new engine to warrant a 30k+ tag. It will come with Mac struts and the rear suspension that other Subaru's have I bet. The only thing that will probably be different to me would be the loss of AWD, a shortened Impreza platform, a revised boxer engine, and a way better looking interior and exterior when compared with a Subaru. But this is my opinion.
