Subaru Toyota Collab on Next Gen 86 Stopped
 

According to best car:

I'm curious about their story on "Menstruation for the heavy snow panic".

Maybe my translater needs an update.

A headline? The whole thing consists of a headline? According to Best Car they wrote a headline?

And front page mentions the 86&BRZ SCOOP...

Here's an article that is actually readable:

Holy crap! An article based on two lines of a tabloid headline teaser. This is the ultimate in speculative journalism.

I might just start a collection of all these reboot cars.

I'd like to see the 86 platform killed off. There just isn't anywhere else for it to go. It's obvious that a turbo is out of the question. An unmolested 86 will ultimately increase in value at some point. Would love to see a replacement. MR2? Yes please.

After inflation and the cost to maintain and store it, you should break even around the year 2069.

Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ successor canceled?

Saw this... hope its nothing.

So few cars increase in value. I would love to buy one though... If I win the lotto. I will get an old ford. (if I can find one)




I mean, all I want is one of the 105 GT40's produced between 1966 -1969. They are Lighter weight than a twin @ 2,682 lb

plus the cost of me renting a humidity controlled environment for those years

If ever. They may release the 2068 rerelease with unicorn skin interior, 800Hp turbo engine, 12" wide wheels, 1200 lbs total weight, ultra retro edition for $12,000 (2068 $s) and then you are screwed!


Or people could just say a 2018 what? Made by who?

Right hand drive kills it for me.

I would finish my 40 year old rebuild project! I still have the starting point for it in the basement.

Start hitting the wrecking yards.

Toyota & Subaru Cancel 2nd Generation 86/BRZ
 

Well, this sucks....


Just read this Autoblog about the 2nd gen. 86 & BRZ likely being cancelled:

Deep sigh....

Too late. The lowrider fad of the 80s cleared anything salvageable right up. A rotted out shell sells here for $3,000 to $5,000. A good car will run around $35K and a top line one up to about $80K.
Funny when we talk about cars going up in value since before the lowrider thing took off you could pick up a decent 64 Impala for under $1,000.


If the twins are going to go up in value they need to appear in a movie or some high profile fad in the next 10 years or so.

We'll have to come up with something.

Are there any Mexicans in California? Maybe they can sell me one.

Nope no Mexicans

Basically all just speculation but between the arrival of the A90 Supra and Subaru changing to a single global platform, it gives me a feeling that it's unlikely the twins will see another generation. At the very least, I can't see the car continuing in it's current form, if they make another generation at all.

If a lower trim Supra becomes available for only a few thousand over the current 86 and is faster, continuing the 86 will be a hard sell, wouldn't it?

Yeah, but some of us still need even limited rear seats...

I'm going to design a car where the shifter goes between your legs like a fighter pilot.

Everybody calm down. We have no clue what is real yet and every clickbait that posts is adding their own level of bullshit.


Since I do not feel like repeating the same thing in the inevitable 100 threads to come.

By the time we get through 3 or so more clickbaits they will be saying that Toyota murdered Subaru in their sleep and have run off to marry BMW for their money.

Exit twins, hello supra, waiting on mr2.....

Don't hold your breath.

I'm fine with it. Would rather not have a 2nd gen to be jealous of :P

I have never had a fighter pilot between my legs. I guess you guys get lonely?

This shouldn’t be surprising as the twin platform is starting to show its age.

There will most likely be a twin successor, it just won’t be on a modified twin platform.

People bitch and moan about how the twins need more power. Toyota builds a Supra. People bitch and moan about how a Supra costs and weighs too much. Enthusiasts ain't shit.

That article reads like it was written by an "ancient astronaut theorist", lots of "could be" and "distinct possibility" stuff.

Why do you think there would be a successor on a 6 year old platform?

A friend of mine who used to have a car lot and now just flips car privately was saying a 1997 Type-R will sell for $60K. The 97 was the most limited production (like 300 if I recall) and only sold in white but I was a bit shocked to hear they were so valuable.

All of the stuff so far is based on a one line teaser from a Japanese tabloid. It may as well have said "Big foot and aliens are destroying all the 86s" for all we actually know. That tabloid is the jump off point for so many rumours with very few ever being right. The weebos will all scream "BUT IT IS FROM JAPAN SO THEY KNOOOOOOW" though.

I'll just leave this here for @Tcoat

OK @Guff @ichitaka05 @Dave-ROR I dare you to try and keep up with merging all the end of the 86/BRz threads into one!
