What if lexus got the 86/ subie made sti brz?
.....Instead of scion getting the frs..
Toyota would have gotten the base model, lexus gotten the premium. Then Subaru the base and sti model Follow me on this, a year ago, lexus came out with an is250 f sport turbocharged, and is350 f sport awd. Toyota paired with a company that is notorious for turbo and awd. Why the f*** didn't they do this to the 86? Ppl have been asking for more power since car came out 4 years ago! Would sales have been better? Is this possible now/ that scion is gone? Did they already have plans of scrapping scion to begin with, if so why did they badge the 86 a scion in North America? Can we make it happen? Thoughts?   Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk |

It would hurt Lexus's reputation in the future. I say no.

well Subaru has already said they won't add power. why would they jeopardize sales on their wrx? you slap a turbo and awd into an 86 and you are also adding 10k+ to the sticker and then everyone bitches that it's too expensive...then since you are adding factory FI, much more R&D is needed to make sure this is something that isn't going to grenade in 50k miles and risk ruining their reputation. as for lexus picking it up, highly doubtful just because they wouldn't want a car that creeks and rattles all the time in their lineup. adding a motor won't make it a "lexus" in my opinion. the car is perfect for the money in my opinion. if you want it to be faster, drop 5-6k and slap in a SBD turbo/oil cooler/etc. and you've got a bargain for power to weight.
TL; DR keep dreaming |

Why is this so hard for everyone to comprehend? The twins were designed to be a cheap fun to drive sports car. Lexus is not about "cheap" cars and IMHO the lexus bumper looks absolutely terrible on this body.
The main segment of people who actually bought this car have not been asking for more power. A lot of us would have liked it but most people bought the car knowing it would not have a lot of power or they could add it themselves down the road. The majority of people asking for more power in the stock car would not have bought it even if did have more power. For the millionth time, best of luck to you finding a car that is rwd, unique chassis, LSD, turbo, meets EPA MPG requirements, and all under 30K new. edit: ninja'd

Went to a carshow with my girlfriend. We sat in a Lexus RC-F. She said it felt exactly like sitting in the FR-S, just fancier.
Of course the RC-F doesn't have anything to do with the FR-S but Lexus has a RWD sports coupe. |
