Timeframe! When do you plan to purchase?
 
It's not out yet!

But

Just to generate some activity, and because of curiosity, When do you plan to purchase your Scion FR-S/Toyota FT-86/Subaru?

Dark 05-09-2011 05:08 PM

Subaru, if it's a Scion.
Edit: Wait, I have to see what the Subaru looks like and the feature in the car first. If it doesn't meet my expectation, I will just look for other car.

tranzformer 05-09-2011 05:14 PM

Don't know yet as I don't know specs or pricing info. My current car is still going strong so I am in no rush. If this comes out as Scion I will most likely lean towards Subaru if all else is equal. Too early to tell at this point.

NESW20 05-09-2011 05:46 PM

MMC? i don't follow you on that one...

OldSkoolToys 05-09-2011 05:57 PM

There should be an ASAP option in that poll. Basically, whenever I can save up enough for a downpayment to keep my monthly payments at around $300...thats looking like ~$7-8k atm, off my estimated APR, and using a likely $25k purchase price after a few goodies are installed.

stickin' to a budget.

Zaku 05-09-2011 05:59 PM

MMC is ... Mid Model Change you know like two years after release.... and OldSkool your right! lol I should of put that, get an admin to add that later.

Kiteless 05-09-2011 06:03 PM

Gonna order mine as soon as that is possible to do so. IF the car does not cost too much and IF I have enough of a down that I feel I can comfortable buy the car. Otherwise I may wait. Of course I will want to test drive it first.

Sea1monkey2 05-09-2011 06:19 PM

Definitely picking it up used as soon as i can. About to start college, can't afford a new car, and i am going to struggle justifying picking it up secondhand. If i was n a better situation though, i would buy it before they could get it to me

blacknbean 05-09-2011 06:47 PM

hopefully they release all the variants at the same time. that would make it easier. if its 180hp, then i will be waiting a long time...

Seeing a Scion badge definitely put things on the backburner. Curious to see the Subaru varient will look like or if it will even be available in the US.

serialk11r 05-09-2011 07:07 PM

Because there aren't really any other cars like this coming out, I think this will be what I'm going to get but I'll be waiting sometime since I don't exactly have money and I want to see how it turns out. If it's a little disappointing then maybe the refresh will be better. Probably will buy used unless some very good fortune comes my way :D

LOL @ backburner.
We have to see first. I really hope that Subaru brings its own version to the states, it will be a big hit.
I know if I say this, I might get flamed, but I'm also looking to forward to Mazda RX-7 revival. They have been developing new Rotary for years now, I don't think they abandon the project. I'm going to get a new car in late 2012 or early 2013, so there will probably be a few other alternatives.

Win the lottery?

serialk11r 05-09-2011 07:14 PM

LOL I don't buy lottery tickets...
God has many ways of bringing fortune though :D (I'm an atheist for the record)

Zenrael 05-09-2011 07:21 PM

1-2 years after the fact because I'll wait for the bugs to get worked out. It's also possible by then there will be better cars out there. :]

Random_Art 05-09-2011 07:24 PM

The guys over at the local Scion dealership are going to be sick of me calling every week seeing if I can put in a pre-order :bellyroll:

I have enough money to pay up 25k upfront atm, but its a Scion and of course subaru hasn't released theirs yet. :>

^^^^ Omg if it does.. I'll probably look into that more. O_O I LOVE the sound of a rotary engine.. its an eargasm~~


plus if the RX-7 revival gets made into the same price range... OooOo.... I might look into that bad boy instead. ;)

I hope your right ! I love another Rx especially if it's fuel efficient

OldSkoolToys 05-09-2011 08:02 PM

Now I'm gonna need to make a "FR-S vs. Revival RX-7, end all be all" thread. Again, you guys are talking about apples and oranges. Its essentially the same argument of the FR-S vs. 370Z

I would not expect the new RX-7 to START any less than $35k. You're talking about Mazda's legendary flagship sports car. It's gonna be B.A., its gonna be fast, its gonna be....spendy! Especially depending on how they market it. Highly unlikely they'll go near supercar status with it like Nissan did to their GT-R marque, but its possible. If not, its gonna be in the 370Z range of sports cars.

It would be silly of them to purposefully detune such a historic model to fit in with the FR-S, since they already have a car in that area....the Miata.

The main reason I wanna see an RX-7 revival is because it would further push Toyota to answer with a Supra successor. Mekekekekeke....

I hope so too! A true RX-7 (3 door, turbo) revival would be something else. Actually, it would be nice to see some of the 90's cars revived. Hopefully Nissan will revive something using the Juke DIG-T engine.

Neutral_Eyes 05-09-2011 08:05 PM

Voted MMC. If something like the RX-7 were confirmed, I'd probably hold off even further. $25k buys a lot of fun in a Miata, too. So the FR-S would really have to impress.

iff2mastamatt 05-09-2011 08:33 PM

As long as the four wheels on my car keep spinning, I don't plan on getting rid of it. I might get a MMC and keep my current car since the insurance can be less for two cars than one. I plan on driving my current car for another 2 years, but if it dies on me early, then I might get the 1st model year Scion.

Ryuu0u 05-09-2011 08:38 PM

I will probably pick one up about a year or two after it comes out, depending on if there is improvements to w8 for a newer model ill end up w8ing for that. Mostly depends on my financial status at the given time.

VenomRush 05-09-2011 09:31 PM

Im thinkin within 3 months

Don't break my hope of seeing a damn sexy rotary beast! Lol.

I wouldn't necessary put the FRS vs the RX-7Revival in the same bowl but.. it'll be another car to look at if it does come out. Hell.. what if it was 28-30k?! o_O It doesn't necessarily rival the FR-S but it gives it a another thing to look at. :)

Who knows? Maybe they decide that the car doesn't need turbo for the base model. They want it to be more efficient, compact and fun-to-drive. I would be pleased if they drop new design rotary in Miata, and revive the RX-7.

If RX-7 is about 30K-ish, it will be "MUST SEE" car.

Absolutely. I think if the FR-S is successful in "TODAY" market, Nissan will counter with the new Silvia.

xantonin 05-09-2011 10:07 PM

Waiting on a special edition, or MMC.

Now that would be nice. Hopefully Nissan, Mazda...etc. catch on and provide a FR 2door sports car that is fun to drive and reasonably priced for the average guy.

NESW20 05-09-2011 10:21 PM

if and when i feel like it. :D i do what i want.

As Gazoo Racing is Japanese only, the likelihood of you getting one is pretty nil...unless you import it from japan and legalize it...or just keep it as a track slut.
