Are you guys really arguing with someone who called AWD gay? Let's move on.

Yes it make sense to not have the FT or Subie AWD, because then you just have another STi. Although I agree, a 2.5L Turbo AWD COUPE would be the bee's knees.

The gtr has traditionally been referred to as the "Skyline" GTR.

And currently, the Skyline is a G37 coupe.

You could go so far as to say that the GTR is a tarted up G37.

TT is a Golf chassis, but with heavy use of aluminum.

Only bespoke chassis I can think of is Porsche's 911.

Thank you for stating this. I could care less about AWD vs RWD. And Really, if it's a Subi AWD, isn't it adjustable anyways?

Wasn't the Mustang based off of the Lincoln LS, and a then the Caddy XLR was based off of the vette to some degree.

Back to the original thread the FT86 does nothing for me, but I think if I were a few years younger it would be pretty cool.
