could be my next car after the gti, i hope the convertible weight won't affect the performance negatively

 

[ROOSTER1050]

It may a little, as I would imagine chasis stiffening will add weight to the underpowered base car.... hopefully by then, a decent turbo kit will be available and you're good to go!

honestly this would make a pretty decent southern CA daily driver..... :thumbsup:

Would be cool to see it come as a removable top convertible to avoid the trunk hit and weight penalty of a folding cloth or hardtop.

Why would anyone get that over a miata?

I think because the media is slurping it so much as "the return of the true (afffordable) sports car", handling, etc..... and unlike a miata, doesnt look like a chick's ride...

Completely agree with this. I too plan to own it eventually. I miss my RSX a lot...this would also be my first RWD and convertible. Movin on up

Yea I think you're right. The FRS does look a bit better than the gayata.

EXACTLY.


This car says, "I still have a penis and know how to use it" compared to the miata, although the miata is getting a refresh soon too and will be more edgey than ever... for a miata.



I am actually shocked at how well they pulled this off/how it looks.. and I am thinking Subaru will not follow suit, since they are allowed such limited production on this car anyway and will probably have more focus on the STI version that's waiting in the wings.

I'd rather have that VW Boxster concept thingie, that seems like a GREAT idea.

 

[nik]

A targa woulda looked nice on it I think.. kinda Supra/ MR2esque.

 

[gti_kid]

That's actually really good looking. I'd get one

Miatas are directly correlated with nose jobs. True fact.
