Technology like this sounds more likely to be Lexus or Supra for the first few years.

I don't know how they could, in good conscience, call this an FR-S/86 sedan.
Really? If you want a current example of how this exact scenario plays out look at what happened over at MINI... somehow they got from the delightful and cheeky R53 to the flabby Countryman and bizarre Paceman within one generation. If the new F56 is any indication they show no signs of getting smaller, kind of a shame.

fuggin Toyota n Subaru. You guys sound like 2 indecisive chicks shopping at a the mall.

I knew the whole light weight, balance, low cost, RWD pitch wasn't gonna last long. Do they really think people are going to pay 40K for a Scion.

I'll be waiting for the Supra concept in Jan...

I don''t know what you guys are getting so hot and bothered about. It seems that you don't quite get the Toyota philosophy of sharing components across a range of vehicles. The 86/FRS sedan will be a totally different vehicle to the simply stretched and turbocharged version that is being touted, I very much doubt it will even share the same name.


And of course once they have the longer wheelbase refined they can then increase the capacity to 2.5 litres, twincharge it (with the electric motors making a total of 350-400 bhp), bolt on a two seater, longer body and call it a Supra.

yeah you guys aren't thinking straight, if the base sedan comes with a turbo motor, BAM, easy engine swaps into the BRZ and FR-S.

these threads continue to amuse me, ya'll act as though Subaru will stop producing the coupes and make the sedans only or something...

If they make this it'll be the typical "I want a sports car but since I'll never drive spiritedly, only brag, give me all the lux options that'll weigh it down." Do we really need more of those kinds of cars? We already have plenty of BMW, Audi, Nissan, Lexus cars that weigh too much to be anything more than some prissy boy's showboat. Barf. I'll take a simple stage 1 bolt on accessory that my dealer can install with an updated OEM tune, keep all the schmuck options for people who have money but no driving heart.

This thing is absolutely awful, I can't stand Toyota's hybrid everything BS. Give us the turbo motor and leave it at that! There not the only ones either. Has anyone heard of what Mitsubishi is going to do to the Evo? This shit drives me nuts, if you want to make something a hybrid then do it too the Rav4 or one of the trucks. You know, something that people actually want a hybrid version of. Leave the performance cars alone!

Oh if anyone buys this, I am literally going to laugh at you if I ever see you on the road. This isn't close to the 86 blood, sedan really? Do you guys really want to see a sedan filled with a family drifting?

Oh god no.......... why can't they just stick to making a high performance BRZ/FRS/GT86? Throw on some stock Brembo's, a nice high pressure Turbo, 260-270hp and call it day and you'll have everyones love and money

I hate when companies get power drunk off of a good idea/product and turn the whole thing into shit
