3) Buying it used. I'm done buying cars new--knowing that it depreciates as soon as I drive it off the lot is depressing. I'm going to buy a barely used version that a granny bought (you surprisingly find those kinds of people even with something like this).

Wouldn't it be tough to find a manual trans from a retired folk? lol

Nah, they are apparently pretty big Scion fans too. Still waiting to see TRD denture holders.

speaking of special editions...

anyone else notice that the 30th anniversary of AE-86 is 1 year shy of the FT86 release date?

FT-86 30th anniversary edition in 2013 sounds possible but not for the North American Market.

Aye. I can only see people being baffled by how a brand new Scion has a 30th anniversary edition.

It's all up to what name it come under. If it's new name (like FR-S) all around the world then prob not. If they used name that associate w older cars (86, Celica & etc) in other part of the world, there's is a possibility for US too

I've seen a barely used 350Z owned by a granny with a manual tranny (hey that rhymes), uncommon, but it happens =)
