Two different cars. BMW has nothing to do with SFR.
Again, source?
"I'm telling ya" does not cut it.

You all are a bunch of idiots...

I'm telling ya, there will be no release series. Toyota in discontinuing the fr-s and combining the s-fr and ft86 into one bmw designed, subaru engineered, mazda manufacturer, and scion branded vehicle.

It will be called the Rs-F and weight 1,725lbs and be powered by a .5liter sky active engine mated to a 4 speed manual transmission. Horsepower should be in the realm of 85hp/35wtq.

Color options will include Maelstrom blue, Inferno red, Stool Brown, and Hyper Ultra Florescent Electric Blue.

Oh shit. I was hoping for at least 4 different shades of blue.

This will ultimately kill the BRZ since the engine and design were contributions from Toyota, while Subaru contributed the chasis.

Don't most sports cars drop in sales year over year?

Yep. And the manufactures know this and build accordingly. The numbers built each year are planned before the car even hits the assembly line for the first time. Not like there are loads of them that were made but not sold sitting on lots.

Niche market no matter what we want to think. The FBRSZGTx86 has done quite well.

edit: ^^^what Tcoat said.

Yours is much better anyway.

But I do like my Zulu November Six.

OP lists the exterior color as "Lunar Storm". I'm trying to think of what that could be. Maybe a dark bluish grey?

That would be amazing. Which model is that from?

Sort of a 180 from "hey look at me" RS1 to "let me just sneak in here" RS2 by the sounds of it.

Nope. Before he edited and then deleted he said the khaki colour

If you do a Google image search for "lunar storm color" a lot of purple comes up but with "lunar moon" it is all very orange, much like that trim being posted in here as camel color.

This rather tasteful interior (IMHO) is for an GT“Limited”.

This page http://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/jp/download/6468313
Seems to indicate that the GT“Limited” looks like the second image. and the color name for the GT "Limited" is "Orange Metallic". Looks a little off to me.

Again

Oh... I was reading that as a reference to the interior colour not the exterior. Thanks for the clarification.
