If only..

Post by Daniel2019 »

A question came up at the bonfire, was interesting to think about.

What would the FTO look like if it was still being factory produced today?
I fix cars.

If only... people would make more vague thread titles, we would have the joys of gibberish and topics going off the rail as people wouldn't know what thread is for what. Aka, a place called home.

WEEOOOOW WEEEOOOOOW THREAD NAME POLICE

Except current and concept Eclipse looks like an Audi and a Peugeot. So let's rephrase the question......

If you wanted to make your FTO look like it just came out of the factory in 2012........what would you change?

Looks like the trend these days is a lot more sharp edges (eg. Lambo Reventon, Civic Type R). I think Dwayne's rear bar looks more modern.

It would be cool if they just made the FTO 'new', just so the whole car would have more life in it.

Don't think it sold well enough or has a big enough cult following for a revival...

Maybe not. Perhaps I'll just hope that when I can afford one they discover a hidden bunker with some brand new ones that have been lying in wait for 15 years. :D

Yeah what joel said haha. He phrased it better. It came up at the bonfire and got us thinking. I reckon it'd be a cross between the FT86 and the FTO ;)
