New Toyota GR86 deserves a better world, but is it suited to ours?

I WAS getting ready to pen this self-righteous-sounding piece about how those who criticise the Toyota GR86 for being too slow don’t understand what it’s really about.

I was about to launch into a long tangent about how its performance deficit is far outweighed by its perfectly balanced rear-wheel drive chassis, which delivers sublime roadholding and the ability to oversteer.

Did I mention it can drift like a boss?
