3.9 inches TALLER? 8.4 inches ride height? Talk about ruining handling. Way too tall.
It'd be okay to raise ride height by an inch to 2 inches, but almost 4? Ewwwwww On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

Taller doesn't necessarily mean the whole 3.9in will be added in ride height. I would think atleast some of that would be increasing the height of the passenger compartment.

The article doesnt even mention a turbo 86, just the drop top, and sedan which would be turbo, and turbo hybrid.
Looks like their source is from the one in the post below: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64856 So repost, and most likely false made up rumors. |

It would be cool if they rebadged an upscale FRS sedan as a Toyota (Cressida) in the US.

If any of these wild speculations happens, it will be tragic.
A 4-door 86? that's sadder than a tiger in a wheelchair. If they just keep this great car as it is; well balanced and fun, keep the production line going for a few more years and don't change anything but the cosmetics that seem so terrible important over there in America, now THAT would be COOL. |

I think what is happening is suburu isn't interested in developing the platform more but Toyota is. I just hope the turbo will be backwards compatible
