The one from October was a test mule. This one is wearing the production body wrapped in camo.

The 90s Supra and Celica also had the duck-tail design.

I am going to laugh if it is revealed and it is the same main cabin, just different bumpers fenders, and rear deck lid. So it got a body kit

It does look like the roof line/pillars are carried over. I believe everything below the belt-line has new sheet metal/paneling. Similar case with the 2021 Lexus IS, but at least you guys get a new motor according to the rumor mills.

Yup and it is still Porsche's best sports car and also worst selling car. No great surprise the 86 is also just a refresh. The 400z is like 20 years old now or something and that is a refresh. There were rumors that GM has stopped development on a new Camaro. I wouldnt be suprised if the s650 mustang got delayed as well. Coupes are dead and making new ones is just bad for business. Just happy we are getting at least 1 more "generation" before it is killed for good.

in both cases (718 & GR86) the press release says next gen. its just not sports cars. most cars when switching to a new gen will retain anywhere from 30%-50% of their predecessor's components.

not even the best selling truck in America is not exempted from this. for example the 2021 14th gen F-150 remain's its predecessor frame and cab. hell, even Toyota did a similar move with the 2nd and 3rd gen Tacoma.

i read the same article about the Camaro being killed off. not just coupes, sedans are going the way of the wind as well.

It's a damn shame that the Caymen is basically "that other Porsche model" and not recognized for what it is. The 911 nuthuggers are a force to be reckoned with unfortunately.

To the rest of your point, it's a sad state of affairs when the vast majority of people are looking for bland, brainless SUV/CUV/transportation appliances instead of engaging sport coupes.

Yea, and that's unfortunate. The front fenders of the 86 are the sexiest part of the whole car. If this is what it will look like those are completely gone.

Nothing here for me. If this is it, I'm officially out.
