Funny, the "Obamaphone" is actually a misnomer--the program was started under Bush II.
Back on topic, another "speculation" thread, brought to you by an OP who posts the rumors, and then doesn't really make any other contributions other than to outright insult some members, in direct violation of forum rules. @FiReStorm2013, Tcoat has been very diplomatic in not mashing that "report" button. Just a suggestion, but take your lumps and realize you went too far. Unless you were just looking for an argument/fight, in which case I smell a Ban Hammer in your near future. |

I'm not sure why some people think an 8hp increase and a few ft/lb of torque is significant... I'd rather keep my own 2013 and just a tune will give me that increase :-)
I'd need more to tempt me to trade in for a new one. Now if they built that great looking blue brz above on the other hand (and fi of course)... Mmmmm!

I can buy an 86 right now, but I don't exactly *need* a car yet. My current schedule is still very manageable sharing the family's DD Corolla. I will need it next year, so why wouldn't be getting a rumored slight torque increase, which the car somewhat needs, and a welcomed MPG increase be worth waiting for? I just don't want buyer's remorse. Maybe the next gen looks 100x better to me as well. If the rumors remain rumors, I still don't lose anything. I still get a great car because every MY regardless if there's an "upgrade", there's still quality of life improvements like knee pads, ironing out issues from previous years, or even a back up camera. Good things come to those who wait. |

If I was buying new I'd probably do the same and wait a bit. Just not sure it would be worth trading in/up for.

2017 Model Year Improvements
Didn't the project lead for the 86 Come out with a statement saying that upgrades on any model year will be available for earlier models. Like how 2015 come with padded center console but they also fit the '13. Or how the backup camera is plug and play.
Imo I wouldn't hold off any longer than I financially had to. Upgraded model years be damned.😛 |

By the time you bought all the exterior, interior, and performance parts from the MY17 you would have probably spent more than if you had just waited for the new model. |

To put it another way, choose what you want from what exists, don't spend your time worrying about what might be. Especially since most of the (albeit unreliable) info we have thus far seems to point to a fairly modest refresh. Of course, just my 2 cents and YMMV... |
