They do have great presence, and eat the BRZ/FRS all day long for breakfast in a straight line. But neither are known to be great at handling. I am talking strictly straight out of the box.
In that the 86/BRZ is again, closer to a MX-5, but then the MX5 is a 2 seater
So while we can say that the car could use more power, really it is unique in the market. Someone shopping for an American coupe isn't shopping at a Subaru/Toyota dealer, and someone buying an MX5 is buying a MX5

See my post about tracking these cars. Stock, they are boats and all bark and no bite when there are turns involved. I would hesitate take an 86 to the drag strip, conversly taking base Challengers and Camaros stumble about a technical track isn't that fun if you really want to run with genuine sports cars. That being said, handling and braking can be tuned on these cars with a higher ceiling than an NA 86. Totally different customers like you said. It's a shame we don't have more options, the Supra 2.0 is closer in price, but still in another price category.
