Has anyone actually seen any test-mules for the next gen cars? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NorthernDriver · 09-02-2019, 07:47 PM

The rumor mill says the next gen cars are due in 2021 ish - but I've seen zero evidence of any actual development. Have there been any test mule spottings at various tracks or in different areas? Maybe a next gen car camouflaged as the current gen?

I’d like to hear where you heard 21ish How do you guys do this?

If Toyota makes and announcement they’ll have my attention.

Oh, no I haven’t.

The rumor "mills" are full of shit.

What really is happening is: Someone's cousin who knows someone else, heard someone talking to someone that it will be built on the new global Toyota platform using the new 2.5ltr dynamic force engine mated to the TH-S hybrid system.

Transmission is the 10 speed auto shit.

I could go on, but for sanitys sake, I won't.

There have been so many of these threads, but sadly; we know nothing..

I remember Bestcar or some other publication posting a picture of a BRZ testing at some track within the past year or so. It had different aero and no badges but it could have easily been a Subaru modified “test mule” for a future STI edition or absolutely nothing at all.

We still haven’t seen the new WRX/STI testing as far as I know, either..

In 4 more years we’ll be like the Nissan fans waiting for a Z34 successor for the past 72 years...

380Z, 390Z, 400Z? 370ZX?

I’ve read 2020 for the WRX and 2021 for the 86/BRZ, probably from the same publication that doesn’t seem to be too popular around here. You’d think the WRX one might have some truth to it as it’s based on the Impreza and the new one has been been out a few years now. I know it’s a stand alone model, but it’s still really a tuned Impreza. Interesting to see if anything comes out of the Tokyo motor show next month.

According to motoring au it will have an automatic and manual transmission at the same time?

Automatic gear buttons reminded me this vehicle:

LOL!! Lots of funny replies in this thread.

It looks like Toyota/Subie will be switching to a MR setup. Sweet!!!

But for serious, I really really really hope there will be a 2nd gen. This car is too damn awesome to end it.
