A slew of other makers offer a sporty version of their compact car like the Ford Focus ST, Hyundai Elantra Sport, Nissan Sentra SR Turbo, VW GTI, Honda Civic Si and maybe a few more I cant think of. The Toyota 86 is slow by todays standards and not practical. I've always liked small cars offered in a warmed over version with more power and handling than the "rental version". If Toyota offered a sporty Corolla, who knows, I might buy one?
