Vh_supra. Thanks for a lot of posts. That is a very interesting news. My guess s that they are taking it into the consideration under the Influence of the Next Generation 86 to be their own beast. Completely Un-related to Subaru by all mean.

Rumors:

1/ Next gen 86 to be developed by Toyota alone including Engine I4 with DI and Turbo, or Hybrids.

2/ Next gen 86, if developed by Toyota alone, then the Chasis have to be different as well. Since they are weighing the option for Convertible, I am quiet sure that the Next gen 86 will be different.

3/ Last, and not least Tada San said that he wanted to do atleast one Power Upgrade to the current Gen 86. Therefore, the 2.5 will probably come. I wouldn't be surprised though, as how much money Toyota is throwing into Next gen 86 + Convertible = May leave the current gen 86 Un-Touched, until next gen. 2016-2017

Also, it doesn't even make any sense to Bore the Engine out to 2.5, and release it for 1-2 years, or Limited Productions.

2.5 also means that the Engine Engineering Spec loses the 86.....in it
