We can only hope.

It was tough to make out when I watched it, but to me it looked like the badge on the side has an S on it. Was pretty pixelated so I could be wrong... we'll know soon enough anyway.

This is why I'm not holding my breath...I have a feeling it might be a piston with the scion symbol which will disappoint many

Technically they haven't made the FR-S name official for the production version, that lighting showing FR-S is just hyping the unveiling, not necessarily proclaiming that's the final name.

How many in the buying public know what an AE86 even is? It's not going to effect anyting.

I think a good amount of consumers know what the ae86 is..but your right its not going to effect anything.

The fact that they only have one display car and the leaked pic from earlier today with the basic headlights makes me think the FR-S will for sure be the low trim with a lot of factory/dealership options

Don't you think those interested in the BRZ/GT86 also know of the AE86? I mean who else would want a "underpowered" car with only 200hp as the Mustang and GC guys keep telling us. I feel like a majority of people interested in this car, are interested due to experience with AE86.

Why do you think this car is underpowered? 200hp in a car the size of a shoe. This car is not slow or underpowered and I wonder how many will get wrecked because people think its gonna be slow.

Probably 50% do (that 50% being the men in the demographic). I have to take into account that females will be all over this car because women love sexy, attractive cars and they buy them in the droves...
