Nice!!

And got the AE86 right next to it. Embracing the heritage.

*sigh* and yet so many noobs still think they are clueless or something.

Lets do it Scion, bring me my ride to the nearest dealer please...

omg i can not wait!

you took the words right out of my mouth :drool:

Can't wait!!! I really like how these companies are handling the release of these cars. Exactly what I was hoping for.

hour and a half away, haven't been excited for a new car in a while, at least a new Toyota.

sweet wonder what will be diff to the 86... Just the badges i am guessing! maybe option list but u better not find that out today cause i will be cut since we didn't get any new info from Tokyo!!!

Are they going to stream it live?

They also have the wrong AE86 next to it!! so they are clueless they needed the coupe not the hatchback! Fuck heads!

correction.... especially because its a toyota :happyanim:

i dont know yet, if they do they might say like an hour befor..or so:popcorn:

How come there is no 2000GT as well? After all, they did use some of the design from it.

They better not have that AE86 next to it then call the production version an FR-S.

They only got this from it.

the window lines.

Uh Oh...Scion's PR Department is either going to surprise us with the "86" name or maybe they're failing hard at the start.

hell yeah! the 2000gt is a lot more sexy than the AE86. they should have put THAT beside it insted

Anticipation is killing me! I love the BRZ but I know it'll be more expensive than the Scion version. Since I have a tC now, this is the exact car I'll be waiting on.. CAN'T WAIT!


FR86?

nvm

Very cool that they have an AE86 next to it. Now I want one of each! :bellyroll:

I was thinking of saying that instead of typing "FR-S", but hey, i hope i'm wrong and you're right! :thumbsup:

You never know, they could change the name from FR-S to FR86. Either way, I'm calling my local dealership's sales manager tomorrow and getting on some kind of list. Wonder if they'll bring Blizzard Pearl as a color option.. if so, I'll take one please. Afterall my tC is BP.

You don't see the reference in the taillights, the dual exhaust and hence the name GT86. The AE86 didn't have those...


Gone is the concept car’s name FT-86, replaced by GT86. With design inspired by the Toyota 2000GT from the sixties and more recently, the early eighties rear-wheel drive drifting sensation Corolla Levin AE86, from which the GT86 takes its name, the new coupe was borne out of an intriguing joint development project between Toyota and Subaru.

Uhh...

it says FR-S right above it.

BTW. I'm looking forward to seeing the pricetag...

lol! well, they could do a projector image warp/change and surprise us :popcorn:
But, hey, 2 hours and something minutes to go.

yeah thats what I dont understand? are they changing the name, cause FR-S is right above it?!!

I hope its all a lie and when they unveil the car we get a nice surprise and its called the 86!

It's the FR-S. Regardless, it's just a name. What's the big deal?

:word:

As long as the price is right, this is my car. Or I could just buy the JDM badges for it in, so it's a GT86. I don't care what the name is, I just want it in my garage!

Heritage, the fact that the USDM gets screwed again with a name that has no link back to its beginning. Hopefully we don't get screwed on cost and/or equipment.

FAIL

Guys! we should all "occupy" Scion's FB page and Twitter page and demand a price "hint"! I've already done it on the FB Page! Here are the links...

LETTSSSS DDOOO EEETTTT! :thumbsup:

If possible, please update this page with pics, videos, info etc. if possible...I'm looking forward to it!

They could call it the Spaghetti and I would still buy it, cause I like spaghetti and I like this car.

The problem is that if you are making a heritage argument, it would be better if you asked for the car to be called a Corolla or Trueno. "AE86" is a chassis code that got popular. The original car never had 86 in the name so why should the new car? Why not ask for the chassis code to contain the numbers 86?

lol!!

Alot of cars have/had dual exhaust not just Toyota as well - Same with the round taillights.

But hey they studied that car alot so yes they could;ve got it from that and yes i guess i am wrong.

I would have picked something else besides "AE86" for a name. We have had this conversation several times in different threads here. No need to rehash that again. If you are interested in seeing other names people were interested in, you could search for that thread.

I think they should call it Ramen.

I'd take Hello Kitty if it could save 100 pounds.
