The target demographic in itself is worth squat to me.
However, I'm partially a Smålänning (region in Sweden, whose inhabitants stereotypically are cheapskates), so I don't want to pay that much.

I mean, come on! How hard can it be? Take a rear wheel drive sedan, throw the rear seats and the rear doors away. Then put everything lower down. Thereafter remove components that ad unnecessary weight. Then make it look good.

What you've done now is that you've SIMPLIFIED a car. Therefor it's simpler to manufacture.

I am a international student in canada. FT-86 is one of my favor choices. The price is not the problem. The recent news said new 86 will be redesigned. I dont understand that some presses said new 86 concept looks not good. I think most people will like it. European team design is very good.

Another thing is the time. We hope the new car will be in the shop as soon as possible.

Like I mentioned many times, We can't trust the rumor just yet, we have to wait for official statement from Toyota itself. Demographic age is not that important, but how good the car is is more important. I know everyone likes the concept, so does Toyota. I don't expect the whole redesign, but the minor changes for a production car. Toyota is the host of the game(Japanese small RWD coupe), I don't think they will ruin their own game.

People are much better at ruining their own games than those of other people.
