Any updates on this? It seems odd that a tent and showing was set up, yet we have heard nothing a half month later.

Probably not so relevant for you guys in the US, but looks that it is questionable if the new 86/BRZ will come in Europe. Might come, might not come. They'll have to check. This was mentioned in a recent interview of new managing director of Subaru UK.

WTF? Oh you poor sods over 'ome. That guy should be shot with rock salt, whipped, put in the stocks, pelted with rotten veg and then urinated on. But, that's just my opinion. ;)

I agree! Hopefully this phase won't last long. Maybe about as long as the Van craze and C.B. radios did. remember them? :)

Exactly! That's why I'm planning to trade the the CX-5 for a GR86/BRZ. Definitely want to get back to driving something exciting.

The van craze never really went away. They just started mating with smaller cars and over time evolved into minivans, then SUVs, then crossovers. It's known as "survival of the fiscalist", you have to sell to survive.

The Supra was in a press display tent for more than weeks?

Car was teased and "unveiled" under camoflauge almost every week for a couple months straight.

There's been 1 set of teaser images and then the tent at that show a few days later. It's been like 1.5-2wks?

They said unveiling this fall, which is about now... so probably within the next few weeks for anything else.
