ASk him what they are going to do to fix the idle problem and also what they plan on doing about the power dip.

Also ask them if they plan on fixing the electrical problems with the car like the seat belt issue and the windows not working correctly.

And here's my OTHER question:

IF, Nissan releases a RWD turbocharged, lightweight, sports car that is aimed at taking on the GT86 in the next year or two.... what are Toyota/Subaru's possibilities about upgrading or changing the current motor?

Seriously, reading some of the questions posted I don't think Tada would even want to try and reply if he knows what's good for him.

I would ask if there was a feature or component that he wanted to add, but, was limited to do so or asked not to? If so, what was it?

You can paraphrase if you want to, but, essentially asking if there was something he would have liked to have included on the car.

Mr. Tada San,

If the initial success of this platform continues, will the U.S. and the rest of North America receive different variants of the 86? For example, a Spec version or the GT86 Limited w/HID's, PB Start, etc under the Toyota nameplate.

What drove the decision to use D4S instead of either simply direct or port injection? Why not go the route of only using one or the other like all other companies (that I know of)? What advantages does it offer in terms of efficiency, performance, or otherwise?

Mr. Tada San, why do you drive a Corolla?

Do we know that it isn't a hachi-roku? ;)

Good point. Those old corollas are so sick

1. Are you brave enough to challenge Ichi in GT5 Toyota 86 night drifts of the Nordschleife.

2. What is your idea of the future of the FA20 engine?

As one of the guys that met him last night I can tell you this. Tada-san doesnt know about any force induction being developed as that is a sepereate division.

And yes we asked about the future Supra/MR2 but he wouldnt budge on those topics.

A lot of these questions were answered last night. I wish I had video taped the q&a session.

Very informative on the development cycle for the car.

Fun fact: Los Angeles was used to test US drivability as it is known to have some of the worst roads ever.

If the GT86 was an animal, what kind of animal would it be? What kind of spirit does it embody?

mit_peid 12-05-2012 12:33 AM

I have the best of best questions: If he could have teamed up with a third and fourth automaker (Toyota + Subaru + Honda + Nissan?), could he have come up with a car that would have been more fun?

That's why I'm doing this for members that couldn't go to that event. ;) & you didn't rec the talk? You failed me... How could you. No love for other members here? Lol jk

As for next supra/mr2 stuff, it's still in development stage/white paper, that's why he isn't saying anything. Nothing solid to go with :)

As for US drivability were done in LA was due to Moto-san live near LA. Lol

The FR-S is a drivers delight. Though, many have complained about lack of power. I know the FR-S will not see much power added, but does the future hold a Supra successor for those that want more power at an affordable cost. Close to $35-$40K

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the Supra/MR2 part
