Hybrid 86 with the Prius engine. He'll give us non-Prius tires this time around.

Confirmed from Tada via Facebook msg.

I would totally be into that car. I know I'm not the only one, 86 kei car would satisfy everyone who thinks this car is heavy and a quality diesel in a car <2,500 lbs would be a hoot.

So what about the Bull Sh!t that the European editor wrote about poor sales all around the world and no updated FRS will be coming out in the foreseeable future. That guy should be hanged. They might not be moving a lot of FRS's in Europe but they sure hell are moving a ton in America.

facelift/wheels/lights change?

looking forward to seeing if there would be anything worth swapping out onto the 1st gen to keep the car looking close to oem

Well, he wasn't lying. In Europe, 86 sell wasn't great... BUT in worldwide, 86/BRZ sell have been great.

Once again, never listen to only one part of country VP. Gotta see the whole perspective

Exactly. I hated how the whole community took one person's perspective of his/her region and try to play it off as the entire world is at stake. People need to learn to read between the lines and notice that the entire world is not focused on so and so region only. What if the car was selling like hot cakes in Africa, I bet that is under the radar for unaccounted global sales total.

so you know what's being updated?!

Rampage · 03-07-2014, 01:05 PM

For the last Toyota sports car, the MR-S, when they did their refresh they updated the front fascia, side vents, rear fascia inserts, tail lights, head lights, wheels sizes, added remote unlock, updated stereo, new seats, stronger axles and a little chassis bracing. Weight went up a bit. There were no increases in HP or performance. All the stuff could be bolted on the earlier models.

Let's see if history repeats itself as it so often does with Toyota.

becauseracecar1 · 03-07-2014, 01:08 PM

Does anyone know or have an idea of when the 2015 model would be on the dealers floor? This info would really help me out. Thank you!!
