If they dont build one... Im sure one tunning company/ Dealership will buy a one/ few and convert them to converibles and charge alot more to buy...

That happened with the latest shape STI Sedan ( looked pretty werid but I beleaved they sold them all?
also same happened on the Subaru Leone, XT etc

I dont hate convertibles at all but I dont want one you would have to pay me to drive one (what im broke)
With that said if it metal top convertible maybe but there gose the boot space.

Yes I said boot and not trunk I watch too much top gear

I think the FRS can possibly be a smaller reincarnation of the Supra if they made a turbocharged model with a sport package. It would also be way cheaper than a modern day Supra.

FRS= $22,000
2.0T 300hp/280tq=$5,500 upgrade over the 2.0
Sport package=$3,500(BremboBK,TTS,18'' wheels and tires,rear spoiler)
100 lbs of extra curb weight= 2,800 lbs overall

So $31,000 for a RWD,2800 lb,300 hp,Sport Package Sports car= A cult status car!!

This would be much better than a Supra that would be more heavier by at least 500 lbs anyway.

I LOVE the way you think. A car with similar power - G37 starts at $37,600 and if you want a 6MT, its $43,800. I know its like comparing apples to oranges, with all the amenities that this car won't have, but thats a big difference in apples. I

If the JDM/EDM FRS is badged as a Celica, it would at least have some historical precedent.

You should've posted this comment on the supra thread that was made on this forum than this thread... which is about a convertible. :P lol
