Who would give that article/site any credibility at all?

Who said it was associated with Toyota?

Mods can we close these 'new 86 will have turbo and awd' threads?

I have read a ton of articles about the possibility but this is the most recent.

I like to use these sources :P

And this guy might have some good answers 1:00min in

The 2016 86 has been announced in Japan. Only changes seem to be 2 new colors.

So cool. I love the fact that Tetsudo Tada is right there as the front man. For once a Japanese brand shows their people and that they care about fun! This is what separates this car from a sea of anonymity IMHO. They got it right in my book. It seems most of the best Japanese cars, ie: S2000, Skyline, etc had visionaries behind them. It must be a lot more fun designing a sports car than a minivan if you are an enthusiast.

New rule: you shouldn't be allowed to start a thread unless you have at least 50 posts

When you say that do you mean calendar year 2016 for the 2017 model year or are you saying maybe calendar year 2016 or 2017 for the mid-cycle refresh

I can understand why some wonder why this car isn't turbo or supercharged. This car was not meant to be a supercar or 1/4 mile racer. I still love fast cars don't get me wrong but i'm getting it because it's tame and fun. Just driving, enjoying the ride, windows open on a nice summer night, tunes playing (not loud) on a nice twisty road or some track fun. I would buy something different if I wanted to go faster but I need a reliable car to get to work and my 94 Integra has worn out it's welcome. Time for fun (again) in my first ever new car. I drove a manual and auto and both were fun, thats the point. I know what I'm buying. I'm not buying and then having buyers remorse. That's just irresponsible. So to each their own but for me it has been a long time coming for a car like this. It's time to enjoy a proper fun sports car.

who cares

Tbird232ci · 03-28-2015, 11:03 PM

I love car forums. Post serious/innovative tech, get two replies. Post speculation about a turbo when it's known to not be happening, 2 pages of people say "nahhhhhhh bruh"

That handling fun doesn't go away with more power though, bud. It just gets better. :P

Bottom line, poorly written article with a suspicious Toyota URL using the FRS- exterior pics of the prototype FR-S and a production white FR-S with heavy riced out/gaudy red/gold and Carbon Fiber interior. I like the info on the 2015 Supra -how did this one get past us?

The person that put up this site is preying on optimistic fanboys' hope upon hope all their Toyota dreams have come true.
