Do you have any info on the trim for US or Canada (e.g., auto HVAC)? It appears for 2017, the 86 will be monospec.

After that video, cannot unsee the fugu kuchi on the new 86.
Really happy I went for one of the last FR-S. |

Toyota and Subaru have been using this race to test their leading edge stuff since the late 2000s so I'm not surprised. This is the race where Subaru field tested their newer chassis and suspension tuning theories, and Toyota with the LFA before it went to production. Interesting the new steering wheel is 3.05mm smaller in diameter. |

The front end doesn't look as bad in those recent videos, but damn do those 86 badges on the steering wheel and fender look like tacked on afterthoughts...

To me this would be good news. Scion was tough to negotiate pricing with. Toyota will be a lot easier. That should force prices even lower for base trim levels. Personally, I'd rather have a low end trim. Better to put the money into go-fast parts than stuff like dual zone climate in a tiny car that doesn't need it, or push button starting that is actually slower to get the car moving than using a physical key. That's just me though.

Honestly I'd rather have the high end model with all the creature comforts. Simply because I daily mine. Otherwise, if it was just a track car, then yeah bare bones would be the way to go.
