I disliked my 15 so much I sold it and got a 86
The 86 is a much more enjoyable car IMO The STI reminded me of a Kia or Hyundai every time I looked at it

Geez, they look pretty good in “stock” Impreza form. It should look pretty cool in WRX form.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but a AWD platform is already set up to turn its back wheels, isn't the new Toyota platform they keep talking about a FWD base? Unless the plan is to put the seats in backwards and make it rear engine, RWD with rear wheel steer, sort of like a fork lift????? "°:°"

On the other hand, my 86 looks great, with some tyres, coilovers and camber solutions the 86 is way more fun to drive, even with just a Ecutek tune. But, as I type this, the 86 is in the shop getting a AVO turbo kit installed, it didn't really need it, but meh, it seemed like a fun thing to do. So, in the end, I can have a 86 that handles better than a STI, is quicker than a STI, looks 100 x better than a STI and still cost less than an STI (even after the mods and turbo). Only downside is the Mrs preferred the STI because it was a 4 door and not as low as the 86 to get in and out of, again, meh.

The Lexus models exclusively use the luxury variant (TNGA -L variant) , while the lone Toyota using RWD TNGA is the jap only Crown (I think it might be a derivative of the L version, but I don't think its the same L version used in the lexus cars). The Crown isn't a small car though, but TNGA should be scalable....I mean that was the whole purpose of TNGA wasn't it? Streamline the shared components and make them scalable to fit the market segments? Its the only thing that really makes sense if Toyota was to use TNGA for a next gen 86. |

I'm pretty sure all this speculation is wrong. I read 15 years ago that Honda had developed an inline 4 engine with a ceramic block that was lubricated with forced air and had so little friction that it could run without oil. The new technology was going to be used first in Honda racing, then in all new Hondas and finally in all other vehicles as other manufacturers copied the technology to take advantage of the drastic increases in both power and fuel economy.
It's been long enough now, so the next generation 86 will surely have one of these Honda-inspired ceramic engines. On a side note, every time one of you posts "TNGA," I think of delicious chicken tinga. |
