Take with a gigantic grain of salt - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Demandred7 · 08-01-2015, 01:05 AM

I know this is not normally a publication that has a lot of credibility, but....., I'm pulling the trigger and posting it anyway.

http://www.motoring.com.au/news/2015...-next-86-52888

and this other page that cites it, but, at least translates the power figures into something that North Americans understand:

You drunk there Dem?
Motoring Au is fiction at best.

Tromatic · 08-01-2015, 01:18 AM

LOL. Regardless, the car started so strongly there is nowhere to go but down.

"It's speculated a concept for the next 86 will debut during 2017, with production models appearing in showrooms by 2020 for around 2.5 million yen."

2500000 Japanese Yen equals 20174.3250 US Dollar

OFT, E85 and a Phantom. Done.

Oh, what a surprise, another 86 rumor started by motoring.com.au. Even complete idiots will eventually get something right if they keep guessing long enough. I really wonder about the rest of the internet sites who constantly pick up their drivel and repeat it as if it is actually from a news source.

I will not even click on it to read it because I refuse to add to their "click" count.

First article claims that the twins have "beefy low to mid range torque"

Lol wut

Just amazed at the audacity of the claims and the pictures of Japanese clippings are a nice touch too.

How other sites quote them is just beyond belief.

Definitely fiction, I guess I'm just bored at work. Almost done though.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself for posting. Needed a distraction.

It's an interesting article. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth in there.

Always the optimist. If there is one bit of "truth" it is purely by accident.

Lol, honestly, I wish I was in bed sleeping.

I'll be done within the hour.

Then I can have a good dram. No promises on what craziness I'll be posting then.

This one will be hard to top.
Should be a fun ride though. Now we just have to keep track of how many people post the same thing.

Seriously though, I get home after 20 days, forgetting my car is getting warranty work done and it's not at home, so I was a little bummed out. Came on here to get a last minute fix before bed and this is the drivel I log on to? It's guaranteed there'll be a repost of this.

I'm just glad it was posted with "take with a grain of salt" and not "omg! 2017 frs is gunna be bomb diggity, yo"
