The market is BEGGING....

[Goodspeed]

Yep, your right. I want my 500+ horsepower car for the street. Cant use an elise on the street, but sure as hell would have a lot of fun with a shelby gt500.

You can't use a light, tossable hoot-to-drive-under-60mph car on the street, but you can use a fatass, 180mph highway missile? I think you have that backwards Mr. Fitz

I have to agree with Evan, comparing it with FWD this or used AWD that is borderline asinine. I wouldn't directly correlate the AE86's sales performance of forever ago with this new offering. The old car was a...Corolla. Marketed to whoever would buy them, usually middle aged secretaries. This is a whole new ball game.

And whether or not you guys realize it, we're collectively not the auto marketing agents wet dream. We're all either broke college students or 30yr old baby makers (with me and DJ's crack smoking doppelganger in the middle). I look at it this way - this is a Mazda Miata with a roof. And that car is still selling by the bajillions to a whole diverse group of people, and I'm sure at least some will sway to this. This is really going to be the only viable alternative in the sub 30k, RWD, sports car market so it may just succeed by default. It'll survive on the boy racer market, on the thriving Scion brand, and we should all be so lucky that it actually sounds like a decent enthusiast vehicle as well, but instead we're bitching about brand names and horsepower ratings :roll:

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think you're all wrong. :lol:
