This article made it sound like Jason got all the credit for braker shooter...

WTF?!?! No credit or us or even me. I was there when that Jason guy was there! I had brake shooter & targa pics w me showing to other Toyota engineers & even gave it to Tada-san. I even have a proof in YouTube...

Seriously... no love for ichi...

So what are your thoughts on a sedan and/or shooting brake 86?

Hm... I don't hate sedan. I think, it'll be like BMW 3 series coupe & sedan difference. Give more option to more ppl.

As for Shooting Brake, I like that idea. I always did. That's why I've photoshopped shooting brake design since '09. I have several ideas which I've told Tada-san to make shooting brake equally light or lighter than the coupe ver. It'll be interesting to see if he take those ideas into shooting brake or even into the coupe

Probably the best time to keep giving your input if you really want more credit on a shooting brake 86.

And I'm curious as how you would be able make the shooting brake equally or lighter than the coupe? @ichitaka05

And is it me or is Toyota just been really busy lately?

Look at Z3. Shooting brake is actually lighter than coupe.

& why do you think, there have been so much rumor bout Z5?

That's the only reason I still hang out here, besides the awesome people of course. I sat in a BRZ and but couldn't like anything behind the driver's seat. I was already 90% certain that I wasn't buying the coupe though.

I have been looking at MX-5 with fastback tops and the '14 Mazda3 trying to figure out which is less of a compromise. I even gimped the top of a '14 Mazda3 hatch onto a MX-5.

I'm starting to really want gimmicks such as leather seats, heated seats, and a moonroof for some reason. :/

What is it that you don't like behind the wheel of an 86?

And hmmm, who knows if Toyota decides to add more luxury options for the 86? I could see it happen maybe just for the sedan though.
