Likelihood of the FT-86?

[Wraith]

Measured at the pump. It's only acceleration that monsters the fuel, so as long as you're not launching between sets of traffic lights I find it hard to see how you could average more than 10L/100km

Thought so...

Would actually be too easy to go way over 10lts/100km by pushing them a bit here and there, the average I hear from quite a few peeps I know with rexes is 15-16ltrs/100km...and the rex is lighter than the lib.

On that topic, the king of RWD vehicles - BMW - will actually be going the reverse way in future and loose most of its RWD range to FWD !!!! sacrilege.......

...and this is horrible, horrible news as one of the cars on my "maybe one day" list was the BMW 135i. If it has gone FWD by the time I can buy one, I'll be shopping elsewhere for sure.

(I still live in hope of a new RWD Alfa GTV...)

Yep, terrible news it is, however I suspect BMW will get it right with their incarnation/s of FWD

BTW the 1st on the list will be the new 1 series (or 2 series if that's what they're gonna call it ??) in 2012, it'll also have downsized engines across the range...4 potters going down to 3 pot (yes new IL3 cylinder engine) and IL6's being replaced with IL4's...apparently the new future 1M or M2 whichever it'll be will be powered by a turbo 4 not 6 and not sure whether or not it'll retain RWD...

The IL6 turbo will only feature on new 3 series vehicles, including the new M3 which will be downsizing from the V8, new M5 will have a TTV8 replacing the atmo V10...

If you can, then you can get yourself one of the current 135i's until about the end of the 1st quarter of 2012, which are face-lifted from around March this year and have nicer tail and healights

The face lifted 123d coupe has a similar front lower bar as the new upcoming 1M.

The FT-86 WILL be coming to Australia in 2012 with the 2.5l Turbo Boxer engine my car has.
Released in Japan at the end of 2011.

Yep, it's looking good in terms of finally after soooo long nearing reality, but I still would've prefered the original concept to this latest iteration of it...

It's starting to look a bit weired in my eyes especially the front end and no doubt it'll lose alot of the nice things like those head and tail lights when it finally arrives in production form...

Powerplant info dosn't sound that promising either just yet, we need to see this thing with a full whack turbo powerplant not just atmo power with a reasonable power/weight ratio...

looks wise doesn't do much for me. Just looks like a kitted camery from some angles.

maybe if i saw it in a different colour my opinion might change.
