Chris Harris is a pretty good reviewer, should be fun.

This guy is crazy and fun to watch.

just watched it... :cry: its beautifull, best review so far :DD


:bow::thanks:

:party0038:

YA! This car is breathtaking. I want it NOW!

OMG I CANT believe I just witnessed him saying those words! I was about to cry of joy!!

This. Ladies and gentlemen is history in the MAKING.!! I love you Toyota!! <3

I think he likes it. haha I want one, now!

Yep, enjoyed it.

Mechanical differential will be available as an option! Great news, very great news.

That was pure awesome.

YAY! I've been waiting for Matt or Chris to do a piece on the 86/BRZ! Watching this when I get home, or hell taking a break from the office later if I reallycan't wait lol

Did anyone else notice the black "stripes" on the car?

ditto went to cvs some headphones.

Pure WIN

Great video, thanks for posting. You could definitely tell that he was genuinely excited to be driving it, good to know!

Brilliant! I loved the genuine emotion! :happyanim:

i was leaning 2.0T GC... i just got yanked back to FRS. That car sounds amazing:thumbup:

Did I see an adjusted redline to 7500 or was that just me?

Nope still 7400 :(

lol that video will sell cars without a test drive :P

sweet!!

there seemed to be a decent amount of leg space in the rear seats... how tall is Chris Harris?

In the words of Sterling Archer "This might be hard to drive with such a huge throbbing erection!"

better than z4 ,all 3 series ,911 lotus exept CATERHAM

:party0030:

Look at how much fun he is having! He's bouncing around in the seat like a little kid! I don't even need to test drive this car. This is enough evidence for me. This car is gonna be amazing. And the exhaust note is starting to sound better and better.

5'8" or 5'10". Probably a bit shorter than 6'. This is my guess based on the height of the car when he walked to the car.

There is leg room indeed based on *his* seating position.

That was a great vid. I never got to hear the engine that well in the other videos it sounds pretty sweet. That guy was having so much fun in there, its only making the wait for me so much harder.

Awesome video, thanks for the post. The black stripes looked goo.

x2 Archer FTW

i have nothing else to say but im in love :wub:

every reviewer that drives this car even mr yoda...after the first couple turns they just burst out laughing or smiling....im getting two of these things....

:thumbsup:

:happyanim:

yea what he said

"Treat all tires like they deserve to die" lol

I like this guy, his excitement about this car makes me excited too :thumbsup:

Given that his personal car is a Porsche GT3 RS 4.0 he doesn't give praise lightly especially on chassis balance.

BTW his is quite short (5' 7" from memory) for those eyeing up the gap behind the drivers seat.

im 5'7" or 5'8" with the right shoes so that bodes well for my being able to put my daughter in the rear without breaking her little ankles.

the car looks so smooth and fluid around the corners. so balanced, my style indeed. i just need to know the price

Hmmm.. that does give hopes that you can fit people if you are shorter than 6'. To be honest, I know Chris is not tall but I have no idea about his height.

That vid was the dog's nuts!!!

neat video. I notice he mis-pronounced the 86 (hint: if it was eighty-six, it would be called Hachi-Ju-Roku not Hachi-Roku). Also, kind of odd that they let the guys go around the track with no helmet. I suppose it is Spain, but still...

I did think the video showcased a good bit about the car though and was entertaining enough. Thanks for the post.

Id love to hear that exhaust note in person. Other then that, he seemed to have enjoyed himself :wub:

Freak'n awesome. Just about every1 is viewing themselves driving it now.:party0030:

Glad to see you appreciate the philosophy. With that floating around in your head, you should really enjoy the GT86. I'm looking forward to a drive.

That was the review I was waiting for. For me Chris Harris is the best automotive journalist. After he said the LFA is the best car since the McLaren F1, now yet this. Kudos to Toyota for having made the last and best sportcars before the changing era.

gosh this is soooo annoying to have to look at all these blokes have fun in the car and none of us get to even see it for another year :\
