Well, this is sad....... - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Elliryx · 02-03-2016, 09:22 AM

When someone says it a "TOP SECRET" and say "SECRET MEETING" look we're not all that crazy here. Come on the words use was like in high school "Hey, wanna join our secret group? We're having a secret meeting after school." Its bull.shit I think. FRS/BRZ automatic/manual its a great car. Just wait maybe tomorrow they'll say 2017 FRS can fly with 210hp.

Or be prepared for a $32K base GT86 because it has Toyota badging.

At 5am this morning there were only two. The motor trend one and the car buzzard one that started it all. These sites move FAST!!!!!

Why do we have two threads (and a related thread in the BRZ section) about one rumor?

Because people do not read before they post! I bet we hit 20 or more on the topic if the Mods let them all stand.

I will be reporting them for merge as I see them but cover me since I have meetings today.

@xuimod I'm sure they'll either make it the Toyota FRS or GT86. The FRS sold pretty damn good, for their specific target market. And it wouldn't be the same to not have our twins.

Actually in 2015 the sales for the fr-s went down by 25%. I read that somewhere.

You never read my stuff on sales? Do not let sales numbers scare you. Sales vs built numbers should scare you. They do not release built numbers.

That makes plenty of sense.

Brands are in the selling business, when sales are down business is not doing what it is supposed to. Tell saturn, hummer, and pontiac not to be scared of sales.

DarkSunrise · 02-03-2016, 09:37 AM

If true, it's been a long time coming. Scion hasn't exactly been lighting up sales charts. Doesn't really matter though, as the FR-S will simply be imported under the Toyota brand as it is elsewhere in the world.
