Sorry, but I have to just yawn.

I was totally disappointed to not see a completely new body for the 86 for the 2018 model year. They seem to be simply into more marketing of an old horse.

After all this disappointment, I can now deduce that this car platform will soon be gone...no replacement planned.
There's a reason why the Gazoo Racing name (and the car as shown here) is not shown outside of Japan.

Consumers such as your self is the primary reason why cars like the FR-S RS 1.0/2.0 exists in the first place.

The buying habit of the target audience in North America is completely different than the US. Toyota USA won't just bring this car over without doing their research.

The rear end fits in well with other current Japanese cars. It won't go over so well with the US crowd, so you're almost certain to see some type of redesign after focus group studies.

Mostly posting this since there's so much polarizing opinion out of the original GR discussion thread...
