As long as it has power windows, mirrors, seats, steering, air conditioner/heater, cruise control, MP3 CD player, ABS, and anything else that is pretty much 'standard' these days, I will be fine.

I don't want too many gadgets. Don't want many buttons on my steering wheel and not too many buttons on in the dash.

Less is more for me.


I don't recall there being anything ever about a turbo model was there? If there is one, I will have to give a hard thought about it. Turbo model isn't happening though, right?

My wish is simple like Scion web site. They have the base price and just add what you want and don't add the stuff you don't want... so like this
*FT86 NA base
*FT86 Turbo base
*FT86 TRD/G-Sport Limited
and from there, you add TRD option stuff that you want.

Don't forget the convertible & hatchback options, lol. So IMO:

Coupe- NA/T(pak) -Cloth/Leather - audio options - etc

Hatch- NA/T(pak) - Cloth/Leather - audio options - etc

Convertible- NA/T(pak) - Leather - premium audio - etc

G-Sports- T - etc.

The turbo pak designates the typical sport pack we see nowadays.

I'd go coupe, turbo, leather only if two toned, & prem audio.

Feel free to add to my speculation.

Maybe they'll go with a set up like a civic:

FR-S: Basic non turbo with options to go fully loaded with power leather seats, BT/nav, etc, 5 speed man/4 speed auto

FR-ST: Turbo, 6-speed only, no power seats, better brakes, etc. (closer to a track model)

I vote for:

FR-S base model: cloth seats, 6 spd MT or 5 spd AT, and so on like common sport car on market( Scion tC??)

FR-S GT model: premium leather seat, dual exhaust system, an inch bigger wheels, and slightly different headlight and taillight over base model. (nav, handfree, and other technologies are optionals.)

FR-S Turbo( based turbo and GT turbo) or FR-S G's :Turbo (TMIC), bigger brakes, new intake system, wide body kit.

FR-S track: 6 Spd MT only, Roller cage, no rear seat, no premium options, big brakes for track, no cosmetic changes over base, no AC, no cd player system, 4 speakers, and sway bars.
That would be my guess but I doubt a roll cage would make the cut.

Maybe mild Bilstein suspension setup, close ratio gearbox with that 6 speed, lighter wheels (hopefully forged aluminum at least) w/sport tires.

I really, really, really hope they have a turbo version

I really don't care for close ratio gearbox. Wide or normal or what ever you wanna call it will be perfectly fine w me. Close ratio gearbox is awesome, but that's not the always the case (ex: Fuji Speedway).

If it came w lighter wheels w sports tires might help w my budge more. lol

edit: 1k post bitches~!!! lol

Just for you, it will have a close ratio gearbox since 95.987452% of FR-S owners will race at Fuji!

Your 1,000th included my quote so I feel somewhat dignified!

These are all wishful thinking but if they were to label it a "track model" it better have at least the following: upgraded suspension, bigger brakes, lighter wheels, some type of gearbox, no power n electronics and cheap interior.

Personally I like what Mitsubishi did in Japan (Europe too?) with the Evo. Can't remember which trim (MR?) but it was stripped, came with steelies. Basically you bought it because you were going to turn it into a rally car and didn't have to pay for all the extra stuff that was just going to get tossed or replaced anyways.

I'm going to go on the record right now... I don't think there will be, and I hope there will not be, a turbo version.

Amen to that!

Transmissions and blocks are usually stronger on OEM turbo equipped Toyotas than NA ones were!
