What improvements will the 2015 model have? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BrianFRS · 04-04-2014, 01:37 PM

Not sure if this was already discussed in another thread, but I just wanted to know if there were any improvements to the 2015 model FR-S, over the 2014?

I heard things about 2014 model fixing the minor issues that the 2013 model had in the beginning. Are they any isssues that the '15 fixed over the '14? Or even things like standard features, since all the '14s now have standard touchscreens installed. Is there something like this that the '15s will have that the previous didn't or will they be the same?

Sorry for the repetition. Just trying to be thorough. If any of these were answered already, just point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys! and Happy Friday!

Increase of 25 crickets.

I heard it would be turbocharged, just enough so that it would be faster than a Mustang in a straight line.

8R6 · 04-04-2014, 01:56 PM

its gonna have AWD and be twin-charged.

BrianFRS · 04-04-2014, 02:00 PM

Thanks guys, I needed a good laugh.

Hopefully an announcement will be made soon officially on updates.

I heard Toyota was going to drop the Scion brand, rebadge the FR-S a Toyota and call it a Supra.

The funny thing is that sans the Supra part, this is a possibility in the coming years.

from my own speculations, I'm assuming they might change the exhaust system a little, or maybe a better intake or something of the sort. There was a thread that mentioned there will be improvements in which people with the older MY can get. I don't think it'll be dramatic changes, but rather subtle improvements.

You would be incorrect. Someone knows and either they are not here on this forum or are here and just not talking.

It's a ~$25K car. How much more "improvement" would you expect to stay in that price range?
