That is sad. Hope you enjoy the next car. With the same reason, I just bought a Mazda 3 to drive with my kids. Fortunately, I will keep my FRS and I will drive it alone and only in good weather now. |

Toyota stated up front, that they'll be updating the car every year. The internet has this well documented with dated posts, press releases, interviews, etc. People typically hear what they want to hear, and this was often gleaned over. Personally, once fuel delivery is figured out, I'll prefer the higher 11:1 comp of my engine vs the 10.2:1 already in the Z4; the power delivery and turbo spool is vastly different even with just the small changes. I'm not looking for a 800whp monster; I don't need the lower compression. I worry that a TNGA based 86 will not be as good as the current one.... but who knows. I can say I was pleasantly surprised by how well the TNGA based Prius and Camry handle. I can confidently say that while the 86 offers a better driving experience, the V6 Camry is faster around most road courses! |

I worked for 42 years to put together my stable. The first thing I did was build a garage to put them in and then started collecting one at a time.
Retired now, spending half the year in the mountains of Western North Carolina and enjoying driving my toys. There are always low mileage examples out there and with the internet you can find them. Don't get discouraged, keep focused, work hard and you will get there. |
