Will you stay with the 86 brand for the future ?

I'm all in for a second generation.


Just hope they don't put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car...I hear they've done that for some islands, both big and small.

Depending on what it is you could probably supplement your income very nicely by selling it.

And 6 inch, steel I beam, reinforced back bumper!

If I could find an unmolested FR-S manual with semi-low miles I'd get that. Lower price, super reliable and dependable.

I think I'd try to wait as long as I could to see the next gen 86. If I couldn't wait I'd hop in a Type R.

3 - The average buyer (at least in north America) for the new ones is closer to 35 to 40
4 - If the boxer disappears the car disappear it is as simple as that. There will never be a Toyota or Subaru solo version

If they do stay with the boxer I hope they just do a FA20T.

That would require a new drivetrain though.

I would still be happy to pay $45-50k AUD.

As long as it stays RWD and has a manual option, I'll drop it like a hot potato if they go AWD and/or auto.

I think the FA24 is a better choice for them, it's already proven itself quite robust.

Yep. If they are going to change the engine then a NA version of the FA24 may be a good candidate.

That would be awesome to have 4 more in the category of motor.

Alright, as a vintage motorcycle guy, my interest is sufficiently piqued. What is it, Humfrz???

I too desire to know what humfrz's motorcycle is...

[Teseo]

If the dealership dont fuck up my engine with the spring valve recall, i will keep mine as much i can. If not, probably i will go with camaro ss, mustang gt, 370z or focus st

Both of those bikes are going for bank these days.
