Manufacturers have lost interest in ice. Expensive to produce.

Not cheap but greater profit margins

Right, I forgot how profitable Tesla is.

Watching some of the videos of the GR86 U.S. reveal, I noticed something odd. The white premium on display has rivets in its bumper, but the red premium on the stage does not. The base red one also has the rivets. Is this inconsistency due to these being pre-production cars? Here are some screenshots.

Backup sensors? The automatic cars have some extra safety/convenience features I heard.

If Toyotas numbers are accurate, a gr86 automatic on e85 will be quicker than a current gen manual.

yup.

Every car has the same looking backup sensor "rivets"

Found this in one of the reviews on YouTube:

This can be useful for track days.
I suspect we will also be able to get the tire pressures via OBD if they are communicated to the digital gauge cluster.

That’s awesome, useful info on the dash.

Those pressures seem quite high though. I guess they’re hot, that would make sense.

That makes sense. Since the manual GR86 doesn't have a lot of the Subaru safety gizmos, I assume that is why it is missing the sensors in the rear bumper. Another reason to buy the manual.

When I google gr86 specs all I get is YouTube clickbait nuisance. Did they say anything about the rear end ratio?
