The 86/BRZ were well executed and did not show much compromise in terms of overall design, weight, and driving dynamics. Most other cars these days are absolute pigs in size and weight.

Agreed except for weight. The 86 actually came in around 250lbs over target.

Honestly, I think most of the complaints stem from things outside Toyota's control. Namely, if they had gotten the price closer to $20k usd instead of $25k, there would be far less complaints about power, the weight and the spartan interior... And of course, the exchange rate kinda screwed that up with the yen appreciating...

the more i look at it, the more i think that front bumper is a dummy. because it doesn't align with the rest of the body. Like those Ebay tailights, i think it's just part of the camouflage

Agreed. Look at how saggy that sideskirt is on the mule. Definitely there to throw off the design hidden underneath.

Engines expected are a four And a six cylinder but with exclusive output unique to this car which assists the less is more philosophy from BMWi.

The Toyota will offer a hybrid and it not unthinkable BMW might do so later.

Well that looks nothing like the FT-1. Looks like a last gen Supra with a minor body kit.

lol it's just some random rendering from one of those Japanese magazines, that does renderings.

Someone should anonymously slip them Ichi's shooting brake concept or the 86 ute concept and tell them it's the new Supra. See if they'll publish it.

to be fair most sport cars have this basic side profile. to me the car in question has a longer hood when compared to the 86.

Lol I'm pretty sure that's just an FRS/86 :)but I can see your point

Zaku 10-12-2016 08:58 PM

:) I can see where you're coming from, and that's very observant of you.

I still think it's an 86.

Yah... Just another 86

:X

Heh...
