Do you think there will be another Series.Blue release for 2016? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Let's remember that the S2000 AP2 came out in the 5th year of production. The car went from a 2.0L to 2.2L. Ride quality got better and it got torquier. Then what happened? People bitched that the handling wasn't as good as the AP1, the motor wasn't as revvy, etc. Actually the same thing happened to the original Moata which came with a 1.6L in 1989 and then was refreshed in 1994 to the 1.8L. Still a slow car but some people like the 1.6L better for some reason.

If you've driven a BMW 325 vs 330 you will also understand that power comes at a price. Weight. The 325 handles so much sweeter than the 330.

Personally I do want more power but that's not going to fix this car if you're a speed freak. It's a drivers car and the new Supra will address the power crowd. If the engineers can do it without adding weight I'm all for it.

A limited edition with some functionality would definitely be welcome. In 1994, Mazda released the Miata R Package. It had no power steering, locks, windows. Seats were cloth. It had an aero front, rear lips and rear diffuser. Handling was amazing and they are coveted cars in the racing crowd. Upgraded suspension on Bilsteins.

I had one. That's what the '86 special editions should be like. (Edit: damn it I already posted this 2 months ago LOL senior moment)

Did you hear the rumors?

You can always just build your own. It's just the lip kit and the wheels unless you just have to have the blue accented interior.

I'm hoping theres a new special/limited series again also. I wanted to get the yuzu series 1 from scion but I currently wasn't in the market for a new car. I will be in the market for a new brz/frs in june and hopefully a special series is out again.
