Many people may not know that this is the successor to the famous AE-86 that was popularized in a animation called Initial-D. I myself own a AE-86 GTS. I own a gt4, a 4runner, and a celica. Never in my life have I bought honda or any other brand out there.
Toyota NEEDS a sports cars for young drivers like myself. Being the toyota guy that I am along with many fanatics out there who choose not raise a voice, if FT-86 turns into a Scion FR-S, I can almost guarantee certainty that 70% of the people who were interested in it in the past will NOT buy it simply because it's a not a toyota!
The point I'm trying to emphasize is I will not buy this car under a scion because I hate scion. The higher ups who are making this decision believe their good intentions will lead to good things but this is the furthest from the truth. It's been too long since I've waited for a toyota RWD and to hear that such a beautiful car made by toyobaru to become a scion brings a tear to my eye.
I could simply just take out the badge and put a toyota one but that's not the point. This car deserves to be a toyota. This car needs to be a toyota. This car BETTER be a toyota. If it isn't, it'll end up like those good sports car that never became popular because the parent company decided to sell it under a new brand name.
I know my opinion doesn't matter but I can speak for all the toyota freaks out there. We are not buying this because of the power. We are not buying this because of the design. We are buying this because this is to remind us what toyota was back in the day when they were making sport cars like Supras and MR2s. And because it's a RWD with over 160HP+. Since it's over 200, I'm even more excited.
my 2 cents... a child's perspective
time for.......inception
