does that mean its no longer cheap and affordable.

My thought:

(1) Even if a prototype is shown in 2021, I doubt if it will be for sale before 2023.

(2) History has shown that rushing a new model out leads to many, many significant quality problems.

(3) Toyota has tried to spice up its line-up, even Camry and Corolla have become less boring. There is hope the new FT86 will keep its high performance bias.

(4) I will not be surprised if it contains some electrification feature, eg a hybrid drive-train.

(5) I am very happy with my 2019 FT-86, it is free of many bugs of early models.

The AE86 was a hatchback.

I must admit the rendering looks pretty cool though.

When American car companies change the working formula, they end up with the Pontiac Aztec. When Japanese car companies change the working formula, they end up with +0.2L engine displacement.

S2000 AP1 --> 2.0L
S2000 AP2 --> 2.2L

NSX NA1 --> 3.0L
NSX NA2 --> 3.2L
NSX Gen 2 > 3.5L (plus Porsche 918-like "hybrid" performance)

Subaru has their own formula between NA and Turbo cars... If they didn't want to ruin the balance, I can see them dropping to a 1.8L and adding a turbo or SC to maintain the miles/smiles per gallon. It's pretty apparent that automakers are being pressured into designing more environmentally friendly mass-produced vehicles.

You forgot to include a "legitmate" photo of the new car in your teaser ad...

Pretty sure the 2nd Gen 86 / BRZ development is much further along than we all think, bet we'll see it fall of 2021 as a 2022. Subaru is an expert of hiding development and Toyota is pretty good as well.

There's no way they will make a high-power turbo 86... they have to keep it relatively slow as to not upstage the Supra

Circular reporting is great.

mazeroni · 01-14-2020, 10:03 AM

Should have used Autocar's renders... At least they look good (baby Aston Martins).

It deserves a Noble Prize in Psychics for some type of perpetual motion/endless energy loop.

Thinking this as well. Plus they can't upstage WRX sales either.

That looks too Supra-like for my taste. Not a fan.
