Nobody should buy one of these cars before they have gained an appreciation for the subtleties that distinguish them. You absolutely, positvely must be able to spot an FFR's rear, know the difference between pedals that come up from the floor or down from the top, windshield angles, wipers that point in a different direction, radiators that are angled or straight up and down, cowl curvature, and so on and so on. Only after appreciating the differences can you decide whether they mean anything to you. Buying something though before you even know what it is you're buying doesn't make a lot of sense... but it happens every day.
