Now that the FRS/BRZ is out, what other models would you like revived?
Now I know what you're thinking... "THE FRS/BRZ IS NOT A REVIVAL OF THE AE86!" No matter how much anyone tries to tell me that, I won't believe it. I know it doesn't carry the same name or styling, but to me, it's still the modern day revival of that car. Toyota hasn't made a lightweight "sporty" RWD in many many years. But this is that car.
Anyways, now that the AE86 has been revived and is getting critically great reviews by consumers/journalist, what models do you think should be revived with other manufacturer's thinking about hopping into the marketplace with something sporty, what would you like to see?? (From any make/model..... No El Camino trolls need apply!) ex. <MAKE><MODEL> - <Features You'd Like To See> For my own personal list I'd like to see new version of: Nissan Silvia - RWD, Turbo 2.4 coupe with at least 240HP (Is it too late just to hope for a 240Z?) Toyota Celica Alltrac/GT-FOUR - Turbo AWD at least 200HP Toyota MR2 - Obviously MR drivetrain with with at least 180HP Toyota Supra - FR with at least 350HP costing *little voice* less than 50k? WRX Sport Coupe - Keep the same internals currently, but with a body redesign with coupe offering. Acura/Honda Integra - 260HP 9000RPM VTEC! |
I would like to see Jaguar come out with something smaller, lighter... with a straight-six and a forward-hinged bonnet.

Revive the 3S-GTE with a lighter alloy for bottom end (hopefully as strong as cast iron) higher flowing head, higher flowing exhaust manifold to get rid of uneven burning and a real ball-berring twin-scroll turbo. Don't care what car it goes into (hopefully not fwd).
|
Also I want a revised second generation S2000 (no, not ap1 and ap2, but an entirely different redesign) with 11,000 RPM redline and real hardtop no convertible, no sunroof.
Oh, one can only dream... |
NSX is being built. Hybrid awd.
Supra is being built. Hybrid. Silvia is being built. Jaguar F-type is being built. Dream: v6 2nd gen Toyota Mr2 w 6 speed and a new rear subframe with double wishbone suspension for predictable oversteer. Dream: Yaris Turbo AWD similar to the 1997 Corolla rally car. |
Mazda Cosmo (2door 3rotor family coupe)
Toyota Cressida (small 4door rwd with plenty of power) |
MR2 Spyder, 8000+rpm and Miata matching curb weight or less. Don't care about horsepower, can always bolt on an S/C. Preferably hardtop, but I'm starting to become a believer in this soft top business...
S2000, but I agree with ST185RC, softtop is silly. Silvia would be cool, FRS needs a competitor. |
