Modellista Toyota 86 Revealed

[C4RBON]

Oh, and how the hell am I supposed to keep an eye on my water cup if its way back by my elbows? Come on, Toyota.

[Dragonitti]

Oh that's beautiful. They did not let me down with that design. Ill take regular taillights though.

Overall I'm not getting a good vibe on the interior. It's not very classic looking imo. It may be minimalistic on features, but someone clearly tried to "style" it, and was only half way done when they stopped.

Based on looks, I don't think this is going too high on the cool wall.

Anyone think the same, or is it just me?

Hammond will probably buy one, so either way, it's not going to be on the cool section of the cool wall.

This thing looks great! I spy a USB plug!! that'll be awesome if I can just plug in my MP3 player and listen to my music through the USB, this will be a huge check-mark FOR the car.

I do like the interior, though them making sure that you can only fit 2 in the back is kind of annoying, I don't really care. I do like the center console, and the way it goes all the way back ala NSX/Supra/RX-7. I like the interior design a lot, and the exterior doesn't look half bad either.

"One thing I do think is odd is the lack of any branding on the steering wheel. I'm sure these are photos of some kind of work in progress, but I doubt they are from a leaked brochure."


Any ruminating thoughts?

Yes, responding to SlickWRX's "lack of any branding"... This is a promotional brochure, this same brochure may be distributed everywhere in the world. They cannot put the Toyota logo on it if it's going to be a Scion here...

And for the rest, "Is it going to come with those seats, that shiny door trim, etc..." Well 99% sure NOPE... They're all going to be options... Remember.. it's a Scion guys... Base trim first then you gotta pay to play.

Those are very comfortable looking seat, Im very happy with the way it looks. It's not to way over the top or too plain either. Now to see the Subaru and Scion's take on this, november can't come fast enough.

Ah! Gotcha!

Hopefully at least those seats are stock in suede (and black centers)!! And hopefully the white tach they show off is not stock either, I greatly prefer the race cars all black gauges.

Also, as stated I'm sure we won't get all of those bits.. I really hope for the seats though :P

Haha, we can hope, though as enc0re has alluded to, I normally sit relatively straight when driving as well, so I'm hoping those headrests are adjustable lol.

[Marrk]

Looks good.

The front hood line seems kind of high, though. Might just be the pic.

In the Auto version when you shift to manual mode you will need to use the clutch just like any normal car, that is what i think

I don't think that's ever happened before. It's more likely a photoshop job to show both setups at once.

Also, in regards to photos:

Wow... I don't wanna dish out my genesis for this. Damn it looks good. Specs for the love of god!!!!

90% of americans are obese. The few of us that don't eat mcdonalds 3xs a day get screwed and slide around in the huge seats.
