I'm actually debating on buying the new Ford Ranger (Ecoboost) when it comes out vs the Tacoma.. time will tell.

Amazing car riddled with all sorts of FCA related QC issues lol Hopefully worked out by now, but man those press cars were dying left and right. Embarrassing to say the least...

you have to realize that even if credible, rumors are rumors even from me... Toyota and BMW are going to continue to do whatever they feel like and eventually we will be able to see their vision. until then, a lot of things are up in the air and will continue to be until the cars are released...

Interesting, so bmw clutch type lsd then I'm guessing...

haha, yeah for me its a traffic thing, but I guess most folks wouldn't have the Supra as their DD... I mean my Supra was a DD for a little while when I was in college, but that was about it. different strokes...

I love DCT transmissions.. for me, at age 30, thats the one I want in all my cars aside from my old A70 (it can keep its R154 haha).

TVD was dropped during testing... Torsen was the unit favored by Tada, so that is likely what is in the car

The GRMN car very well might have that, and maybe that's one of the reason the purported price tag is estimated to be $100k+ Engineers originally tested the chassis using the S55, so it wouldn't be that far of a jump IMO.

I'm not really talking about size or options, but more the way parts are handled and how the motor and drivetrain were handled. That said, it's a tiny car for a Supra

The parts will have Toyota part numbers just like the 86. I can't comment further on this however, aside from saying this has been covered previously in a discussion about what Toyota would have in regards to making the motor their own. There are so many paralells between this car and the 86...

I think the GR spec cars are gonna be some serious money, well at least the higher trim ones (GRMN).

22,300USD in 2003 converted from JPY, so it would actually be $29.8k, but given that the MSRP for the 86 6spd is 28.5 atm my point still stands lol. the fully loaded R was like 25k though, but I imagine the fully loaded 86 is more too.

I don't think the 86/BRZ was optioned incorrectly at all for that price and segment, but I do feel they are underpowered and that the boxer platform is very mediocre for a multitude of reasons. The example I've used several times over the years for what the car should have been is the Nissan...

haha yeah, they are the NDA; marketing is the entity that shuts everyone up and polices information

I'm a dual citizen but was born, raised, and live primarily in the U.S... so, I might have to take a trip up to the snowy attic and try this Winter Edition under the guise of visiting family or a business trip lol

LOL

yep, they tested it, but my understanding is that the manual never made it out of testing.. so, ZF8 here we come lol

that's terrible; I prefer Redbull Blue Edition and Full Throttle anyways, not that energy drinks are any better for you lol

sounds good to me, along with some strudel, croissants, canele, and good Swiss coffee.

At the risk of sounding like an ass, I would ABSOLUTELY take a next gen 86 born of this collab vs Subaru lol.
