I guess it doesn't matter in the world of high end sports cars as there's one born every minute. #toyotaft86

It's the law of diminishing returns in that the more one spends on a car that is slightly faster than a $110,000 Corvette, the more douche he becomes relative to the slight increase in performance. #toyotaft86

I'm pretty sure that I can get all that for $400k. Plus enough cases of Sam Adams to keep me and my buddies stocked for a while. #toyotaft86

Then again, I'd just take 800,000 cars to LeMons. #toyotaft86

Come on and say it: The major auto shows suck suck this year because hybrid and battery cars are dull. #toyotaft86

What autoshow has been good in the last couple of years?
Hate to say it websites like Jalop and the auto industry's constant need for buzz has taken the fun out of autoshows. We know everything about every car that's going to be introduced. When's the last time you were surprised by something new at a show? -- Sh*t they used to be like f*cking Christmas. #toyotaft86

Trust me, I know what you mean. Seeing the cars and the specs almost instantaneously cool and all, but really, you kind of lose something when you resort to instant gratification. I miss the good old days of patiently waiting an entire frickin' year to see a car at the LA autoshow, like when the C5 Corvette came out.
At this point, the only thing guys like us can do is tell everyone to get the hell off of our lawns. After fetching the paper, of course. #toyotaft86

I’m thinking on the order of maybe 1 to 1 ½ mpg. #toyotaft86

By the way, I invented something similar to the man miles per gallon, but I call it MPPG-Mile per People Gallon. See [jalopnik.com] . The MPPG is applied in a the real world and shows the true value of driving an SUV. #toyotaft86

Yes, but do the 20 FT-86s combine together to form some sort of unholy colossal robot? #toyotaft86

and can they defeat the evil LFA Robeast? #toyotaft86

The FT-86 on the other hand does excite me- and I'm not exactly a Toyota person. This car and others like it should be in every car manufacturer's portfolio- a relatively cheap (maybe), powerful (hopefully), and rwd coupe. Hopefully it won't become a hybrid and doesn't melt into a beige Toyota mess of an appliance before it comes to market. I wouldn't ever buy one, because I want a Camaro. But, competition like this will keep the manufacturers of other similar cars on their toes- which is always good for performance competition.

@Ben Wojdyla: Even you are wrong, here is a picture of the 80 cylinder radial in a tractor pull competition tractor.
