Where did it all go so wrong?

Think about it, user. Someone who doesn't give a shit about driving but wants to look the part. What better option is there than the most affordable sports car on the market?

He doesn't know the difference between FF and FR, or what a boxer engine is. It's a 2-door coupè and it's new, but won't cost a limb.

He'll proceed to race it at the lights and have a whinge about it's stock speed, but if anyone asks him if it's fast?

An ecoboost mustang.

Anemic motor.

170hp to the wheels is pathetic for a 2010s car. Not asking for crazy numbers or forced induction, but a genuine 200hp at the wheels (same as rsx type s) should be perfectly doable.

At this point I'd just like a hardtop miata.

Alright, fair point. Though outside the US market it's not an option yet.

But wouldn't the V6 be the poser model? The EcoBoost makes me think of an American version of the Silvia, meaning plenty of chopped up ones in the future and a handful of V8-killing monsters on the roads.

>ecoboost mustang
buy a V8 or neuter yourself faggot

>"the GT86 tries very hard to re-educate a generation of hot-hatch motorists on the joys of rear-wheel drive. And it succeeds, by being exciting, relatively cheap and accessible to mere mortals."
Civic drivers will never understand this.

This

peeps in USA are only concerned about big numbers. big numbers > small numbers

Nobody gives a fuck if it's fun to drive, they just wanna see that swingin dick

No wonder, considering pic related is a typical American road.

Having to put a 4.30 ratio and prius tires to have any amount of fun just shows this car is a turd.

What do you find fun, user?
