Wow all I see is a tease, for an underpowered model. And really facebook while on the road? Thats what pulling over for and using a computer or a cell phone is. Shows that Toyota cares only about marketing. If I'm ever driving, I'm staying away from all the FR-S lol.

Price is all I care to see now, but I probably won't buy anyways now. If the standard is the same price but has a better navi, to justify the brz having HID, which would you guys rather buy? lol

It looks more like a big fender flare. Did they mentioned if its going to be a production piece or just for this car? I haven't been keeping tabs on the threads lately.

I don't believe it, most people put down deposit for a FT86 not a FR-S too. Like me, I'd probably move to a BrZ or pass. Since I didn't put a deposit on a Br-Z, I'd ride it out anyways.

what? it would have been nice to see a tuned fb20 in there - they may as well have dropped any engine in it

i just dont get the point of why they developed a new engine between toyota/subaru and arent helping the tuner scene (who this car is meant for) by bringing out the Greddy turbo or Cosworth stroker kits - surely thats what the logo's are there for on the side of the car?

why advertise cosworth parts on an frs if there isnt even any developed for it?

i say its a smart move.. why not something reliable?
say they used a fa20 and it failed at the first drift event? you know how embarrassing that would be? and it would be bad rep for the car

it's not really an frs without the frs engine is it though? i dunno, just seems like a stange move to me

If the only interior option is those red clown seats, the BRZ


Sweet! I would pay someone to run up and take pictures of the engine bay while nobody's watching. I would rather they work on a kit for swapping an EJ into an FRS than a turbo FA. EJ is a proven engine and FA is still an unkown, and is not looking great for tuning.

edit. sorry for the double post

yeah but the v8 tc gained the tc some populatiry and the tc is not rwd nor is it a v8 but the publicity was good

brz/frs/gt86 = boxer engine
greddy drift 86 = boxer engine

im ok with it...

someone will hyabus v8 it for sure at some point

i see your point, Unfortunatly third party R&D doesn't happen overnight and shops have only recently got their orders of pre-production FRS to play with. Thats the extent of the manufacturers roles in this case for aftermarket support really..providing data or a car early rather than helping them do the work.

Reason for Cosworth ad is the fact that its a cosworth engine sitting in there. Ever seen mopar stickers on a Pro car Nissan? Those ads are for its sponsored parts..not an advertisement for consumer products. They can sometimes overlap but are not the same.

Wow, I finally read through this entire thread! :) Too bad they didn't announce price today, but I'm not worried. The First 86 program sounds neat, I'm going to try it anyway. Now, it's time to go play some GT5 and drive my Toyota GT-86 on there! :) LOL

Just a small overfender, nothing too much. I'm not sure why they added that, not that wide/aggressive wheel. Guess just for looks.

Man I can't wait for this to just be released already w/ pricing. I wonder if the FR-S has the different trims. It probably does I just haven't seen it out yet

Is Greddy still doing their GRacer bumpers and body kits?

:lol:

Well, if anyone gets one of the first 86, come by the shop and I'll buy you a burrito.
