Thoughts? The "style Cb" looks gross, IMO. It probably won't come to the US anyway, though.

front end looks terrible, reminds me of a catfish

I think I just threw up a bit..


On a side note, the 2016 model doesn't much different than my current 2013 model lol

I agree that it looks a little wimpy. They are very clear that the mechanics and such are not changing other then this bit of good news - "the basic performance of 86 in pursuit of fun, but will remain running" (translations are hysterical sometimes).

Some major cosmetic changes but cosmetic all the same. At least it is an option and not the whole line up that changed.
They still have not touched the soul of the car just like they have always said they would not!

I was thinking the exact same thing!

I found their inspiration.

I would drive one. Black of course, with a spare tire always fitted in the rear.

I don't mind it, it's interesting.

In before more complain about power upgrade.

Looks like the front of an older miata. Pass.

That was my first thought when I opened the link! "Why an old Miata? Ohhhhh wait a second here!"

I liked the limited orange..

The front end does not match the rest of the car. Looks out of place and boring. Glad I have mine. The bumper and color is what sold me on the FR-S over the BRZ.

I don't honestly believe they'd release this.

From what I could figure they are still making the regular as well those are just a special edition.

i like the roof. thats about it.

If that's a special edition, I hope to God that doesn't become the next Release Series or some other series for the next year in Scion.

2016 GT86 Toyota Press Release, 86 "style Cb"
 

^ Scion can't be that stupid.... Oh wait

Looks like an FR-S and a Fiat 500 had an ugly baby.

I want that front end. There are pics of that or a similar one that look very Jaguar-y. Nothing on the front of the stock car matches the rest of the lines anyway.

i think i read from the reddit thread on this topic that the cb is geared more towards women. I wonder if they would make the suspension softer if they're going the "luxury" route with the cb...

personally i hate it and wish they released the convertible

2nd link in the original post addresses the "made for women" thing.

It's 100% aimed at being more luxurious/stylish/appealing to females.

I like the interior stuff. The front end looks terrible, IMO.

Also kinda ridiculous how many years in a row they keep adding minor tweaks... like the EPS tweaks this time. Why couldn't they have done that last year or the year before? c'mon now.

It wouldn't be a bad looking car if they formed the body and back to the front. Right now it looks like a siamese twin.

I see what they were trying to do.

I think they just missed it a bit, in the execution.

I'm not 100% satisfied with the front bumper styling of my own little Scion, it's too Camry-esque. The BRZ bumper is better but the matte black 'mustache' is just weird. I'd even be willing to buy a different bumper if all the current offerings weren't so d@mn ricey. :-/

Everyone here has a hard on for 'classic toyota' and 'classic Japanese' and 'simple great sports cars'

Toyota makes 86 with circular headlights and soft lines like the 2000GT & Sports 800 and other classics of the era (Porsche, BMW, Mazda, MG).

"Ew gross"

:iono:

With everyone doing 'squinty aggressive with gaping mouth' front ends I'd take this option given the choice, shame it would probably cost several thousand bucks to redo an FR-S in this style (and probably wouldn't look too great on my gray car, soft edges lend themselves to light colors) :(

Also lmao Toyota builds car "for women" puts 18" wheels and BBK. That'll increase the ride quality fo sho.

Looks prime to be the Scion "Enema Edition" limited series release...

Maybe that is a hint of what the mid-model run refresh will look like. Ewww, at least, if that were the case, there are 75K early ones running around in the US to chose from.

They seem lost for what to do with the car. Mr. Tada is no doubt working hard to build a car to redeem his reputation after bringing us the car everyone says sucks, but having no luck with the suits.

ETA Evey one of these goofy special editions only increase the value of a stock version, at least IMO.

Yikes, that's a swing and a miss

I'm not a math major but that looks like 40k to me. Not sure if they have to do crash testing again either. Most likely not going to come out anywhere but Japan.

Well, Subaru had to do something with leftover WRX headlights they found out back.

Haha... it only took 20 posts for people to notice "Only for Women"... Of course we don't like it, it's not meant for us.

I wonder that the ratio of male to female buyer are.... hmmm...

They finally decided to make the car look as weak as its guts :D

:popcorn:

Looks like they spliced an E-type to the front end...tut...tut...

Haha, funny joke. Now, bring out the real car. :paddle:
