Don't know about the rest of you...but for me...I'm totally disappointed at the blandness of the new 86 interior.

Time to be looking at the BRZ instead...and maybe that's just what Toyota wants us to do.
Sorry Toyota, but you've just fucked up what was a good thing.

I can only read about how the new car/cars drive. Maybe that will be enough to convince me to upgrade to the 2017.

Can't wait to hear many more real life experiences about how the new car actually drives. After all, that's what it's all about.

Does it drive better ? Sounds like the steering has not really been improved. Can't really see what changes have been done to the transmission...as the official statement does not state any gear ratio changes within the transmission itself...though the rear end has been changed from 4.1 to 4.3. And seems there's still a glitch in revving the 'improved' engine.

It's unfortunately still a wait and see for many of us.

Personal note: It's a 280 mile drive for me to get to a Dealership where I can drive the new cars (86 and BRZ)...so hope to find more answers here soon.
