I knew it was risky putting that out there! Perhaps it's time to read my IPod instructions!

(2.) response
I have no idea what you've been smokin' but I've had "the honor" of listening to a Gen5 Lude's sound system. There is no way in Hel (Norse spelling) that "our" new rides trump that!

(4.) response
This is based from my 1998 240SX ownership. That car was 99.99% perfect. Since I "failed" and sold it after driving it for 11yrs, I've been searching for a worthy replacement eversince...

I'd like to see the Toyota GT86 Limited as seen in Japan made available in North America. No Scion badge.

For those talking about the Supra, in Canada it was 60-80k depending on options and where you bought it. I've heard it was supposedly higher in some areas but the highest I saw proof of was 79k and he didn't have all the options.

1. single, central exhaust.
2. drop another 100lbs off the car (I know that is possible)
3. no intake sound increase pipe
4. raise power to about 215hp (that would be ideal and could probably done with come ecu/slightly higher compression work)
5. sell millions of them because everyone should have rwd.

A small nuclear reactor as a powerplant would also be nice especially if gas prices continue to rise.

It would also be cool if you could customize the lock/unlock tone when you press the buttons on the key fob. Like many people, I use this function to find my car on crowded parking lots so I would program it to say: "Over here, asshole" when I press one of the buttons.

I'd also like them to offer the interior with either a Leopard print or bright green plaid.

So what you are saying is that you feel the car is perfect and could not be improved upon.

Useless trolling

It was originally a Nissan Z car competitor -- that's where it should remain.

More power
Better interior, I'm not talking audio stuff, because that could easily be replaced, I'm talking about better quality trim pieces.

and no on the different engine trims. That is the main reason why I hate the GC. Stick with one engine, and be done with it. No need going the Ford Mustang route, offering EVERY engine in the company lineup on the same chassis.

I would like the FR-S TRD version in the US. Or... The BRZ STI version.

[FRSowner]

I've given this some more thought and here's what I really would like to see (seriously)...

Pump the hp up maybe 40 - 50 which would be doable with a small turbo. This would keep fuel economy decent and with a smaller turbo, lag wouldn't be such an issue.

AWD - this is a Subaru specialty so I think this would really be doable.

Couple to two together and you would have a true all-weather car that would launch strongly - similiar to the Mitsubishi Eclipse from a few years back.

[sazu]

A much cheaper price tag !

[Xanatos]

A bit more torque shouldn't be hard to achieve.

I'd also like to see AWD 25F:75R split but knowing that the egnine and tranny are so low that may be impossible to ask of Toyota/Subaru.

[Bayoan]

Also I would really like if it use regular gas not premium gas.

in a full of mostly crazy opinions, this one is the strangest. many cars that can take multiple octane levels save money by using the higher octanes because they run more effecient. even if they didnt youre looking at saving about $2.50 every time you go to the pump. you would save more money by different gearing or a more effecient intake or losing weight. i dont know just strikes me as an odd wish

[Bayoan]

I had a Civic 06 Si and i could not get Premium gas, so I pump in it regular gas and the engine kept stalling and almost got damage by the knocking. From that day forward i had to carry a octane booster just in case I got to a pump that did not had premium.

the car is fine the way it is, two options at most turbo and non-tubro, the turbo variation is already on its way into the new wrx and legacy at 295 hp/295tq

Why not offer the brilliant chassis in more than one flavor?

i think this is a great idea for a new supra but an H6 twin turbo vs the NA H4 in the brz/frs/86


personally the car is a modern icon already... it can be better by offering a


1. tire choice, what tires you want to leave the lot on for a small marginal fee
summer or all season

2. choice of headlight housing color matching/black/chrome

3.better speakers/update the aux option( a lot of us complain that it just isnt loud enough)

4. track package stripped out for 19k
no rear seats
no sound system
no carpets
unpainted front and rear bumper
steel rims
no air bags/sensors

(pretty much what japan has to offer that we dont)

[Skyhound]

NO AWD! It completely defeats the purpose of the car. You might as well just get a WRX if you want AWD

I would appreciate more engines for those of us who want more hp but want to stay N/a.

I just want the whole TRD edition package to be available from the dealership. I'd dish out the extra cash if it's straight from the factory.
