Punchline from a familiar joke. A penguin takes his car for repair. While he waits, he visits the DQ next door. Upon return, mechanic declares he has bad news and tells the penguin it looks as though he blew a seal. To which the penguin replies, " Nah, that's just a bit of ice cream".

Is there any info on how they did the rear seats of the new gen? I'm curious to see if they added slightly more leg room, but I can't seem to find any reviews about it.

Can't see any evidence that they'll do it. The slight increase in wheelbase might be either more caster or slightly revised rear subframe, without any change to the cabin.

Why not both? I hear it's a very unique hybrid system that will also come with an electric battery from Tesla.

I think the only thing I read is that the front passenger seat now stays in place when its moved up instead of being free travel. Not sure if the drivers side is affected at all (which currently doesnt move when folded forward) It was a comment in a youtube video so i still think it needs more people to verify this. |

Not sure this is true. I love lots of cars from the decades before I was born. There are kids born after 2000 that love 80s and 90s cars. I maintain that good styling is timeless, bad and especially overly trendy styling tends to date quickly.

Styling is always subjective but I've never ever heard anyone call a first gen 86 ugly. I still get compliments on my car. They hit the nail on the head with the first gen and wont be able to recreate the buzz they had going in 2012 with the new car imo. I still like the new car from pictures and may in fact buy one at some point only because sports cars are gifts that wont be around much longer and if I'm ever forced to buy a utility vehicle it will be a self driving ev lol.
