Maybe so, but at least the bastard child is 100% Japanese

Not including me, and several other owners on here that I see. If you want to keep the theme original, then you cannot put on a aftermarket tail light (easy to swap out, but still wouldn't be 100% original)

How about JRSC? My car should be 150% original, right? But I have Valenti taillights. Then, my FRS becomes 140% original ... I guess

The day you bought your 86 / FRS / BRZ , if you bought it from a Toyota/ Subaru dealer new , that would be considered 100% original ( of course certain maintenance pieces will get swapped out over time, oil filters, tires, brake pads....etc). The only add on's that don't detract but enhance in most peoples eyes are protective add on's.
In other words, if you go to sell your car and have a K&N oil filter on, no potential buyer should sweat you on that change. If you go to sell, and have some kind of FI, that's another story

I hope they keep making these cars, the miatas are still around after all these years. Need this car to stay around and become the learning ground for future drivers. Easily one of the greatest handling cars. Maybe they should do a gen 3 with a FA25, 2.5L version with say 250hp. This is what I wanna see, they did it with the WRX. They should follow the same process. An extra 50hp would be perfect and squeeze a little more with bolt ons. FA25 “Make it happen Toyota please” |

Hyperbole will usually generate negative reactions.

My biggest problem with this article...how did this guy get to his conclusion of a specific number like 0 percent? Did he get confirmation that Toyota was absolutely certain they're cutting those cars to get 0 percent? Mainstream japanese sports cars rarely get changed fast, NC Miata took 10 years, S2000 10 years, RX-8 9 years and the 370Z is still running at 9 years. 86/BRZ is currently at 6-7 years.
This sounds of conjecture to me, so I'm not grounding any conclusions from it. |

This article is purely speculation. This was my favorite line, “There are a few other opinions but here is the chopping block”. In other words, “there are other opinions but here is ours”. Journalism is kind of a joke these days. Type up a wall of text with zero facts, give it a catchy title and then let the clicks roll in.

Adams (who actually teaches corporate seminars on persuasion) recognized it as a bullshit number pulled out of the guy's ass to campaign against Trump's nomination in the hope that people would hear it, accept that Trump had no chance and refuse to take him seriously. So Adams posted on his blog that Trump had a 98% chance of winning. That bogus estimate dovetailed perfectly with Silver's bogus estimate and got a lot of attention, resulting in Adams making the rounds on the television networks persuading viewers Trump had a 98% chance of winning. Even though the number was bogus, in hindsight Adams was right. That's all David Phillips at Automotive News is doing. It's a bogus number he just pulled out of his ass to try to persuade you his expert predictions have value. He has a 50% chance of being correct. |
