Just on a tangent here but the only rust issue on the 86 is the front quarter window which was a known issue on the early cars. Easily sorted under warranty by the newer version of the part which doesn't have the same issue.

I wonder if they will use that as an Ad on UK TV lol. I remember the gt86 one being banned because it "encouraged fast driving" or some BS :D

It will look better in person I think. But are people going to buy this instead of a Cayman?

I think the only reason you would is for Japanese reliability and much lower maintenance costs, but then it's using a BMW engine so...

I still like it, but I'd hoped it was going to look like this -

The lines are pretty close.

The tiny mirrors and jumbo wheels were never going to happen, they never do, the ride would be awful with wheels that big and it would be slower. The side vents aren't necessary on a front engined car :p
