I love inline 6 for aesthetic reasons, but I4 = less weight and with engine c.g. further aft.

Having a 4-cylinder version does nothing to reduce or "de-halo" the 6-cylinder version. Not to me, anyway...

I dunno, I'm sure BMW will make more $$$ the more Toyota sells.


$35k would be brilliant! But I bet it's north of $40k...
In any case, if a better car came along for similar $$$ to the 86 and dents its sales to the point that the 86 is 86'd, so what, now there's a better car for the same $$$!
1. says the guy that drives a LS FD :p
2. yes, yes it does
3. not necessarily true, this isn't the same case with the 86/BRZ in the sense that Toyota owns 16% of Fuji Heavy Industries.
4. yeah your right, everyone was expecting a $18k-$20k FRS and looked what happens lol. that furthers proves an expensive 4 cyl Supra will be DOA. people will buy a cheap 370z or fork out a little more for a Corvette.
