A look at Toyota FT-86 Convertible Concept with top up

[FRSupra]

I'd rather slide naked down a hill of razor blades into a pool of rubbing alcohol.

It's going to sell like hotcakes!

[TheFunkyMonkey]

Not a fan at all but agree with "tripjammer" that it will sell like hotcakes. They will be littered all over sorority house parking lots across the country...

I had an arctic-white, 1996 Camaro SS Convertible with a white top...

Believe me!! You do NOT want a car with a white, convertible top! EVER!

Concerning the convertible FRS? After owning two convertibles, I will never buy another one. I traded in my BMW convertible for my slice of Asphalt-wrapped heaven and I am never going back!

Balding engineers around the world are rejoicing at this car for sure! Maybe MX-5 sales will suffer as a result.

This has gone on long enough and I with held for three threads. I've been around long enough and put up with more forum stuff that most of you here, since I had a hate thread calling me out for the "BRZ not existing" In 09 because Subaru will never make something not 4wd so Spare me. when I post something once In a while like this I hope it will shed some light on stupidity.

So much hate and sexist comments for something that's good. Last time I check Women own FRS too.

I don't think Toyota cares how much of these end up in the hand of a HS girl, or a college girl or girls in general ( I hope women would purchase and support the 86)and I for one if I purchase one don't care cause I'm confident enough in my masculinity to not judge a car by looking under it to see if it has balls. Open top isn't that bad of an experience, otherwise every Miata is stupid, every spyder in history is stupid, the S2000 is stupid. And trust me last time I check most S2k are owned by Men and most of those Owners have moved on to FRS many waiting on open top to keep their s2k experience mind you.

Most People aren't gonna buy this for track or even performance( LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHO BUY THIS CAR PERIOD(Coupe FRS included),The open concept I think of it as the Corolla that sells to fund your coupe like the Levin that was the bulk of AE86 sales. I hate to burst your bubble but it's not the best track car(stock), I guarantee you it wont wins you that many podium stock but you'll have a heck of a good time in it. ( thats the point actually to have a good time) And this Open top will give you that same good time. If you've ever driven an open top car in a performance setting you'll have fun all the same specially this car.

Heck most of you didn't buy your FRS for track, About 80% will never drift your cars, autoX it, or track it. So the 80% that's hating on this because it's not track worthy is totally utterly whining for no reason and I guarantee most of you just bought it so you have something nice to DD in and don't argue with me on this I'm totally right. If I started a poll right now to how many FRS here has race on a track or an Auto X and I ask you to prove it. I bet it be like 20 people.

Stop with the stupid sexist comments, look at a bigger picture. If Toyota has more of these sold you might I dunno Scion Might give you standard push start and HID and some other goodies that are on the Open top Standard when it comes out.

it's a win situation. The more stupid comments there is on the forums the more it's unlikely well ever get anything nice, They watch social media everyone they have people hired just to keep watch, if Europe get it and we don't I'm gonna say it's our fault we're stuck with this Mono Spec FRS that isn't gonna change because no one cares for anything else but the current FRS.

so stop it!, those University girls are much more mature looking driving a convertible, than a bunch of 20 some year old Coupe driving men trying to act Macho on the internet with " ohhh it's bad with out a roof, because it's bad on a track reasoning" When they don't even track their coupe.( ok I admit I'm there too but still I know when not to do it)

Alright, I'll be the odd man out and say I think it looks good with the top up. They really kept the overall line of the car, which it seems like a lot other vert variant vehicles fail horribly at.

It certainly looks a LOT better than the 350/370Z convertibles! Those have a butt that would make Oprah jealous!

would gladly trade my car today for a factory Targa Top FRS/BRZ!

[sho220]

Never been a fan of convertibles and would never buy one, but I gotta say it looks better than I expected. Would be fun to rent for a day...

[Jeff.D.Gray]

Why not do a targa top instead. Even if you don't own a convertible version, it feels like it takes a little away from the spirit of the car.

[n2oinferno]

There's one simple reason they didn't make a targa version.

They didn't want to. The car was designed with a convertible version in mind.

Have fun rolling that. Txt me when you come out of the coma..... If you get that lucky.

Not a fan. Lets see what Honda does with the rumored new s2k. I like those brakes though.
