I agree there were issues but for a new coupe I look back at the 86's launch positively. there are so many other sports car models that have far more problems even after multiple generations. The minor "annoyances" with the 86 makes it feel much more like a machine, qualities that get...

there was? most of the complaints/issues were over very minor things like interior rattles, panels not aligning, taillights fogging, etc..the few "major" issues (fuel pump, trans) were very sporadic and should have all been quickly fixed by tsbs.. my first FRS was built around summer 2012 and...

lighter? looks the same to me..still the odd rear haunches and you can tell around the license plate.

eh, the prius was for economical purposes and the citroen was in a very different automotive era. my point stands, for performance cars it is hard to see any significant tech that would be developed for a cheaper platform.. the next step is definitely bringing down the cost of a true...

cars under 100 K are not going to be showcasing any new tech hence why all the big innovators are in the 6 figures... very few recent advancements have trickled down to cheaper models, the carbon tub in the 4C being really the only car to feature exotic hardware. mild hybrids, especially the...

Any chassis with a swapped motor is going to be a tough sell on the used market, 2JZ or not..it is a tough comparison considering the Japanese only market Aristo variant was the only other factory production model to feature the 2JZ-GTE (also automatic only) and iirc that was a relatively...

....but you missed the part that the weaker 4 banger is either EU/Asia markets only or not even happening not to mention it ain't going to be in the same $26 k USD segment. Come on, you think A FF platform is going to compete with a Miata? lol. It is funny how so many people see the demise of...

If anything it makes more sense. We all wanted Toyota to develop the MKV as another technological showcase & halo car like the MKIV, but if they are actually trying to develop a Toyota super car then I get why they are holding onto their cards for a more special project..sad for the Supra...

you're all talk.

..and your point? From all the reviews I've seen, everyone has loved the 718s with the engine note being the only real sore spot. You know, there are many factors at play when it comes to suspension design and requirements, not to mention modern struts are very adequate. Look at the...

..did you really just compare racecars to road cars?

..probably because they don't use a FR setup?

..considering he claims to have directly attended the event as opposed to some kid going off of what his dad saw makes me more inclined to be more weary of the latter.. regardless, that bit of the headlight is certainly one of the styling elements of the FT1 that wouldn't be hard to replicate...

not that guy, the first guy that posted here about the event was the one that mentioned this.

are you referring to the entire led strip or just the bit that extends a little into the nose? iirc the guy that attended the most recent event in denmark said the headlights he was shown were closer to the ft1's with the little piece extending beyond the main part of the headlight

...just like how the F40's grill/intake shape was whacked onto the MK4

then look beyond FWD saloons? there are great RWD choices, most recently being the chevy ss..

plenty fast enough, why should it be any faster? don't think camry and avalon owners, or really that segment in general, really care? plus, whether it be maxima, accord, camry, avalon, they have always done 0-60 around 6 secs each generation despite getting bigger/heavier typically. The only...

EU is not only market out there :hmm: the twins have been doing fine in the NA & Asian/Oceania markets..if anything the sales figures don't bode well for the Miata/124 Spider which is what Mazda was anticipating and why they shared costs this time. Think we've already discussed the issue here...

the price point was interesting but it was still a bit of a pipe dream....not sure how those folks thought the 86 would be smaller, the FT-HS, FT86 and every single GT86/BRZ concept that followed were all within a couple inches of the production 86. The SFR is reaching nearly kei car size and...
