I don’t think I’ve ever driven so many pre-production versions of a car like I have the Toyota 86. Ever since that first short test around the Fuji Speedway short course back in November, and the glorious day thrashing the 86 and FRS around Sodegaura Forest Speedway in December, I’ve always wondered how the affordable entry-level sports car that everyone has been waiting for would feel like out on the street. Track driving is tons of fun yes, and it’s a great way to get to know a car very quickly by pushing it to its limits and beyond, but from an owner’s perspective a daily driven sports car like the 86 and FRS needs to tick a lot of other boxes to really be great all round car.

Lol I can't stop thinking that after the thread posted earlier. The more I look at it the more it does.

Great read some nice pics as well.

Sad. The first one, the FT-86 Concept, was the best looking. It was just perfect. Now, the GT86, it is nearly ugly.

Really? I think the production model looks better...not to say I dont like the concept. I think that car made me, and Im sure alot of us, want the FRS/86 to begin with. Alot of it, for me, was the monkey but red though
