Toyota 86 Compared to Original AE86
 

Here's an interesting comparison between the two platforms...

Interesting, I actually owned a 1987 GT-S Twin Cam coupe. Great little car.

Not a very good read at all.

This reminds me of the people with the "just because a car is much lighter it's better sports car" mentality. They made the GT86 feel the same way you guys look at its heavier competitors....A MUSCLE CAR. These guys is idiots.

I wonder if the people at Toyota were watching Initial D and thought.
How about we put a Subaru motor into an 86, perfect!

^ I was just talking about that with my friend that I kinda felt that was one of the inspirations as well for the 86. It be funny if it was though.

Personally I think that article sucked. Poor rationalization and didn't flow well.
