Right now how’s that going? IDK but a lot of things have been pushed back. I don’t even know they’re showing it off this yr anymore.

86 has been already in a tight position after Toyota released Supra and made even worse for 86 after announcing 2.0L version. With Covid situation, I would say 86 is in a very "unlikely" situation. I can't say the same for Subaru though. They have the production, no overlapping products, and everything needed for a second gen if they want BRZ a place in their lineup. But I had the impression that BRZ/86 was here mostly due to Toyota's arm twisting Subaru. With that pressure gone, Subaru might cancel BRZ as well. They have WRX and STI for their brand image where BRZ has never been.
Many people here are so anxious to see a second gen with this and that improvements they dream on. Here goes the whole pie out the window, those might need to find something else to complain about.
