If they Pull The Plug

After reading the article with regards to BMW & Toyota. I would think it would be a really poor move for toyota to abandon the ft-s. I understand that it has not sold as many as they originally anticipated, but there is a reason for that. And the reason is not the car traditionally, it more of the price and marketing.

Neverthelss, if they truly PULL the PLUG on the FR-S. I really would feel back for all of the R&D that all of these mods / FI guys that spend much of their tim, efforts & $$$ with developing this GT86.

Toyota, if you truly pull the plug on the FR-S. This will be another bone head move you will make along with the many that has happened for the past decade.

Regards,

No one ever said anything about abandoning the frs, its the partnership with Subaru thats going down the toilet, which would create "difficulties" in the brz

Wait... You mean the article, slightly word changed, different BS so called authority on cars....that article?

Good grief people all of that's BS pure and simple, still a shocker people are
Sheep enough to be buying into all this bullshit reporting etc... Note*** not one single blog or news update directly from Toyota or Subaru...

Until anything is posted directly on their site it's all kaka

No, this is a forum full of assholes. I remember a time long ago when I would read all about this car on this forum without anyone being childish. Before the high schoolers came on the forum and ruined it.

It'll just mean that the "swansong" last of the first generation with the rumored larger boxer engine and associated mods will be the best of the breed and a future classic.
