2017 Toyota 86 - new name, styling, and more power

[funwheeldrive]

I might have missed it, but are there any real life pictures of the daylight running LEDs on the new 86?

Its like a butterface lol...Looks so good from behind and then she turns around . I love the Ultramarine color.

Car has arrived at my dealer for people to come see! Sales rep has told me its a Steel 86 in their showroom. Hopefully I will have time to go tomorrow after work... If not them I'll definitely go on Friday. Stay tuned for pics!

Ugh just thought of this but,

Now that it's going to be the Toyota 86 and we have '13-'16 Scion FRS...People who have FRS' are going to be approached by someone who says,
"Hey, nice 86"
As they have been for the past 4 years as usual


NOW when someone does this, some eavesdropping asshat will butt in like,
"Bro, the 86 is for 2017 and newer, those are just Scions"


From which some facepalming and pointless car-meet arguments will start about using the term "86".

I hope I'm being ridiculous.

An 86 is still an 86 no matter branding

For the hard core car buffs no, for normal people confusion

From my perspective, everyone here drives a twin. I drive an 86.

Port installed, factory installed, whatever. It wasn't installed by the dealer as the person asked. I agree with them, that I would not want the dealer installing the wheels. Some of techs know and care about what they do on a daily basis. Others?.... well....

EDIT:
Will leave for posterity but I was way off base! Sorry my info was old and I didn't bother to check for changes. My bad.



Actually Port Installed can be way worse than a dealer. Port install just means done after landing but before the dealer receives the vehicle. There isn't some nice big facility at the docks where the manufacturer installs add ons to production standards. Since these contracts are likely awarded based upon the cheapest bid you are more likely to have the work done by Bubba's Big Boy Auto where a properly trained and experienced person has never set foot through the door. At least at the dealer there is some level of accountability for work since they don't just slap stuff on, wave bye bye and never have to worry about that car again.
