GT-86 released in U.S. ?
 

Hi,
I haven't done too hard of a search to find the answer to my question in the threads but what I've got is that the Toyota GT-86 will be released in Japan while the Scion FR-S will be released here in the U.S. Are there any plans for the GT-86 to come to the United States? or are they pretty much the same car?

Same car

Sorry, Highly unlikely that they will bring it over here to the USA.

If you would like a GT86 what you could do is take the Scion badges off and put the Toyota badges on it and say you had it specially imported. :happy0180:

Same car, just not all the interior bells and whistles

1.Go to Japan

2.Buy a GT86

3.Smuggle it into USA

There are no plans to sell the Toyota-branded GT86 here in the 'states. The platform is only being sold here as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. The FR-S and base-trim BRZ [ironically named the Premium trim] are basically the same car, except the BRZ adds HID headlights and GPS Nav. The cloth seats are the same shape, but use slightly different material, with the Scion using the red shoulder patches and Subaru using a patterned insert.

im looking to debadge the frs the first day, i will get emblem ready

The FR-S and GT-86 are the same car. The FR-S even has the [=86=] badges on the fenders.
