Good job Toyota, this was your one car to prove to the automotive enthusiasts that you still cared. Now your blowing it.

i wouldnt take this serious. it really looks like a PR trick at Autocar.co.uk to gain publicity with keywords "FT-86 price" in title (most searched on google). also everyone links to them now. but there are no real facts, just guesses.

The winning factor this car is riding on is the sub 3,000 pound weight limit, 200HP sub 3,000 might be a nice combo at a cheap price.

Rx-8 weighs a tick over 3000 with 232 hp and isn't very fast...but of course the piston engine should be able to deliver more torque. I have a feeling performance of the FT-86 will be very similar to the MX-5.

That thing is so mad sexy.

Honestly I would pick it over the 370
