So I'm guessing the FR-S will have the same.

So by that logic, can we assume that the production BRZ will have cameras instead of wing mirrors?

(If we end up with side cameras instead of mirrors this car isn't hitting the lots for under $30k)

this shows that the toyota version is probably gonna be called the Toyota 86.

They trademarked it for the logo. This has been discussed for months or more.

[Ikaros]

I think they are only using the logo for the engine or something right? From my memory it was just a rough pencil sketch.

I've tried a lot of things but, i suck at PS and i see some data loss in the black area (video compression).

This was the best I could get out of it. It's hard to say, but it almost looks like it's just part of the seat itself. Like a mesh cushion or something (circle shapes appear to be repetitive). I don't think anything is embroidered into the seat (in that photo)

That's their plan.

The thing that scares me most Cassidy is the size of the car. If that is a 5'4" japanese man in the car what the hell am I going to do when I get in it at 6'4".

The pattern matches the front grill, discussed in a previous sticky thread that had a much clearer picture.

Adjustable height seat perhaps. There's at least 6-8" or more headroom for that guy, but if you are 6'4" with stubby legs and a long torso you are probably screwed. At least there's no sunroof, that would kill inches of headroom by itself.

Yeah it's used on the fenders of the toyota version (that little badge in front of the doors) and on the prototype cars it was on the steering wheel.

[slizoth]

Yeah I think I'll probably be fine, my legs are long so seat height should go a long way. The price tag will go a long way too with the FR-S. I'm basically torn between the FR-S and the 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport. Both kind of suit my needs, fun to drive, daily driver, would be comfortable on longer trips too. We'll see, really hope the FR-S is 20k like the Impreza Sport.

Hmm is the car in the trailer oranges or red? I just wanted to get better idea ofr orange metallic or lighting red.

Orange. It looks so good in that color.

So 16" wheel has 10 spokes
the 17" wheel has 15 spokes
the 18" wheel has 20 spokes
