So I was in Japan...(PIC HEAVY)
So I was in Japan and decided to go check out the Toyota 86. And boy does it look amazing in person. The 86 badging on the sides look a LOT better in person. The interior is "alright"..it's very basic, but it would do. Overall, liking the look of it. (The white one was automatic/ red one was manual). The red looked so nice. Oh yeah, and those seats in the back have zero leg room. You can probably only use it for storage or if you have a kid in a baby car seat BUT this car is meant to be a driver's car so that's fine! Sorry about the quality, took it with my droid x.

Thanks for the pics!! If you think that interior is "alright," I wonder what you'd say about the Scions lol. I wish that interior was in the Scion's! Were you able to test drive it?

The interior was nothing to be astounded by..unfortunately. Now that you mention the Scion, I'm looking at pictures of the Scion and it does look inferior to the 86 And no I was not able to test drive it, the two models weren't meant to be test driven.

How was the orange peel on the paint? Seeing quite a bit on the red, little on the white, but that could just be the camera....

The orange peel is noticeable up close. But most Japanese cars have orange peel. Can't really complain about it. |

That JDM stock exhaust is really making me sad about the crummy North American version that we get... :\

So it's really SWP, right? Not flat white like Corolla/Camry flat boring glossy white, right?
