That actually isnt bad looking at all!!....to bad I have kids
|
Looks pretty good actually! Still wouldn't buy it though lol...
|
3rd
|
so i have yet to hear, but will this only be a "toyota" version or will there be the brz version
|
I like it!
Comes with new wheels, too! |
Nice! I like it, but I still like my hardtop better(:
|
Looks similar to the wheels on the UK limited, and do I see fog lights too?

Smexy!
|
eh hate these. i wish they made a targa top instead
|
Targa would be so much better.
|
Wheels look to big for production.
|
ew
:barf: |
I think the s2000 is a better looking convertible.

agree with @DBacon1052 I like it a lot, but prefer the coupe
|
I wonder if those rims will be stock
|
I like the wheels but I would prefer Targa also.
|
Those wheels are huge!
|
they look like 22''
|
It looks like a cabriolet instead of a roadster.
|
i speculate this could be a private party's build
|
It will be fat....
|
as luck would have it, i took my GT86 for a drive on the franschhoek pass in South Africa today, and they were shooting a commercial for the convertible as i drove past.
Goes to show that South Africa has some of the best driving roads <clarkson> in the world </clarckson> screenshot from my dashcam: http://i.imgur.com/TQ7BjjX.jpg |

|
Interesting..

both from an aesthetic and functional standpoint they should have dumped the rear seats. now exe have useless back seats and a useless trunk.

Or perhaps Toyobaru do not feel this is necessary? :iono: Either way I think it's a fine looking car. |
Wouldn't buy it.
|
looks pretty good. suck it down haters

Convertible FR-S, huh? I .... ::gag:: .... whew that was close.
I'll keep my roof, thx. |
in addition: the video of the drive by
we weren't allowed to stop and take pics, as they were trying to be all secretive and directing traffic [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlHg791Cak&noredirect=1"]shooting of Toyota 86 convertible commercial - YouTube[/ame] |
i like it, i would actually debate on getting it, just to enjoy those long drives to the beach or for beautiful days. i am sure they would not let the feel of the car be compromised much.
|
hardtop > convertible... always :thumbsup:
|
I still can't understand why people like convertibles so much. Maybe after riding motorcycles so long I've had enough of the 'wind through your hair' fascination. They just don't seem practical/useful, I'd rather have a targa or sunroof.
|
It's not awful, but given how small the car is, I would have preferred a) they removed the rear seats and made it a proper roadster, b) Targa, or c) T-tops.
|
So we probably won't get this in the US? Unless they start changing their Scion philosophy to have multiple trims of the same car, which supposedly they don't to keep cost down. I don't dislike convertibles, but I think I'd prefer the coupe for the FR-S. There is just something about being in a closed in cockpit that makes me feel a little more connected to the car.
|
I wonder what the final weight of the car would be. Adding even 100lbs to a car this light would have a dramatic impact on performance. Not to mention the loss in chassis rigidity. I've owned two convertibles, one e46 BMW and one 1996 Camaro SS and I will never own another one unless the car was originally designed to be a convertible from conception.
I can't think of a faster way to ruin the balance of a car than by cutting its top off. That said... it really is pretty. Scott |
