Love the video!!! Can't wait to see the upgrades he's talking about and the new Supra. Based on his feedback, no turbo and no AWD. I don't want a turbo either, to tell you the truth. What I want is a 2.5L that puts out 250HP and gets 30MPG. That will be MORE than enough for me.

The 2016 86 has been announced in Japan. Only changes seem to be 2 new colors.

So I finally watched the Tada video and really don't see how people get so optimistic from it. He really doesn't say much of anything and the answers are more than likely scripted by the marketing folks anyway.
One thing he did seem to be very clear on was that he is not a fan of the idea for FI for these cars so that can probably be ruled out as his "more fun" plan.
Pretty much what I took away from it was "wait".

@Tcoat from his video, all the talk about the '86 getting canceled becomes moot.

I think the optimism comes from this video where at 1:34 he says "next two years, I will try to upgrade the performance every year. I promise". But those upgrades could be anything (lower weight, handling, etc.) except forced induction which he says he has no intentions of doing.

Shame Mr. Tada does not own Toyota, Subaru and Scion, or at least have final say on what comes out of the factory.

I was at that invite only lunch in New Zealand. He said several times during the day that he had no intention of adding a turbo.

All future Subaru engines will be 2 liter or even smaller. This is a statement from their chief engine engineer.
