Oh boi, I think the reports of these came from motoring.au so... I'd take them with a grain of salt. However, a mid cycle refresh is a possibility for MY17/18 which most likely would include revised headlights, tail lights, bumpers, the bump in power & torque plausible. I try to stay clear of the speculations and "inside sources" but, it is entertaining to speculate...within reasonable parameters

If you throw enough shit at a wall some will stick. The clickbaits throw enough that some will be right. Love all these unnamed "insiders" that give all this "information" at risk of what is likely a very good job.
Recreational speciation is fun but to many believe this tripe and wait for unicorns that never show up.

It's true.
The 2017 refresh will be a game changer. But I've already said too much. Here are a few early spy pics. Enjoy. -The Insider

The basic underpinnings are excellent. Unless they make an S2000 with back seats, theres no reason to hold off. And, they won't.

Don't kill the messenger.
I just heard from a friend of a friend's, mailman's, personal chef's, castle guy's, moat guy's, best friend's, mom who is related to the exporter/importer Art Vandelay's, neighbor's, prostate checker's, pot guy's, babysitter's roommate who happens to be a Toyota Insider. So blame that guy. |

Speculations are correct. I heard from a scion insider that they'll be replacing the model name from FRS to TRDLZR. Srs
