Hmmm let me think, another small light RWD convertible on the market? Yes... that's a GOOD thing. I wonder if a 'vert was in the plans all along?

I love te look - you'll only get that trunk decklid with a soft top though. It looks MR with the long gap behind the wheelbase and no rear seats.

Yeah, I see what you mean. They both wheels and windows and stuff. It's uncanny.
Do you think the new insight looks completely different from a prius? Like, the difference between a carrier pigeon and a trash barge?

Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm not really feeling the new Toyobaru car... Lightweight sport coupes are neat, but I can't help but think that they look like all the other japanese tin cans out there these days.. I guess I just crave the quiet, heavy, and powerful stalwarts from Germany over the lightweight, highstrung, and cheap-feeling ninjas from Japan.

When were you emasculated? Did it hurt?

see that's two cars i can agree with you that look similar.

look carefully at the pics below and i still can't see how an FT-86-C looks similar to the 370Z-C. i just don't see it and many agree. the FT-86 has a wedgier angular design that doesn't even look similar to the Z.

HAHA the 370 look likes tomato smashed into a butter pumpkin pie ......

The rear of the convertible FT-86 is too long. It is a front engine no?

the photo is not real. the photoshop artist made it into a 2 seater while the FT-86 is a 2+2 coupe. and yes its front engine rear wheel drive.
