Race Track Into Short



Announce Training w/english

 

Cool videos and the new Toyota looks pretty nice indeed. Never owned a Toyota before, but this one could cut the cake. Thanks for showing.

 

Two questions:

1) How much?

2) Will I fit in it? I'm 6'5"

 

I hope they release it as a Toyota instead of a scion... I refuse to buy a scion.

 

its under 20,000 estimated and its suppose to be badged as a toyota but sold as a scion?? I dont know how that suppose to work but thats what I read

 

hows about Subaru BRZ? i just don't get it

 

U.S = Scion FR-S
Japan = Toyota GT 86

I personally hate the final tail light design, looks too much like the toyota Celica's tail lights and performance seems to be also on the crappy side. Looking forward to the Subaru version of this car specially the "Subaru BRZ sti", they re-designed their own headlights, tail lights, front end/rear end and packing 300+ hp.


why did toyota f#ck up the look of this car when they got it right in the first place?:


Here is the "Subaru BRZ sti" concept:

 

Looks like I'm buying my first Subaru... well once the 8 is paid off and I can buy it used. :D

 

My gripe with the Toyota final production so far is mainly with the dash layout. Esp. the center stack is cramped, ugly, with squared off edges and buttons and dials etc. cramed into it down low in front of the stick. The tack on airbags are like from the 90s and there are weird air outlets tacked onto the top of the dash.





Perhaps I've been sitting in the RX-8 for too long with it's classy but simple dash layout And the pic above are not from the standard car, this is the upgrade version.

 

$28k seems to be the number that is being thrown on on the ft86 forum.

 

28 is too high. 24 would be more reasonable maxing out at around 30. Over 30 and I could get a Z or Camaro

 

Like Wallets said, the original aim was 'under 20k$' - at a price in that range they would have a runaway hit.

 

Well, it could be a 'runaway hit' until the 1000 they are making each year are gone ... which would be like in the movies ... in about 60 seconds!

 

I doubt less than $20k is likely and would not be surprised if it falls into the $25k-$28k range.

 

Vangard112 thanks for clarify, but neither interest me..

Spin9k as i said before in other thread, the interior does look like an old car.. sorry to say, it almost likely refurbished a lil bit from the old one.. and the rear seat?

 

hear, hear

 

We'll the Subaru 'version' or should I say 'clone' is out now. Yawn.. almost exactly the same - giving new meaning to the word "Toybaru". All hope of a 'better' 'faster' more aggressive and evolved GT-86 has evaporated into personal preference for the front bumper, and which badge you favor. Sad.

foo77, the best that can be said for the back seat is that it forms a flat floor when folded that is purpose built for 4 track tires or a few golf bags lol But yea, who asked for the 90's back? Toyota and sleek style seems to be an oxymoron or, better said, only available in their concepts, not their production vehicles. Just put any of the concepts side by side to either of these and the cost cutting is pervasive and hurts the eyes.

 

The Subaru version looks pretty cool.

 

wow, very very pretty nice. hix. i want one.

 

interior looks cheap, really cheap. This car needs to start at 20 grand.

 

The base scion starts at $21k.

The base Subaru is loaded with extras, and starts at $24k. The high trim is $27k


The rear seats should be looked at as 'storage space vaguely shaped like seats to help bring down insurance prices.'

Agreed, the interior is inferior to the 8.

It is slowly looking like I might be parking a satin white pearl BRZ next to my 8, trading in my Miata to make the room. I'm still thinking that it's visuals work better in person with it's small size than they do in pictures where it looks mid-to-full size. I didn't originally like the looks of the 8 after all.

 

There's good news about the back "seat" ... as when it's folder down there's a clear path for storage there, no cross brace like the RX-8. Nice and flat for those four track tires in a car barely bigger than a Miata.

 

The view I've been searching for. Looks like a hatchback, like an old honda, or Datsun. Very nice Can just leave the seat back down really.... or take it all (back and cushions) out completely for track days and save some weight! Far better than the 350/370Z with that brace across and in the way.

 

Yeah, i really dont think the 'seats' are for people. Just insurance companies, track wheels, and other track stuff.

Just look through their rear seat comments. The official comments. All about gear what can fit, nothing about actual people.

 

The BRZ looks amazing!!! mmmmm!
