By far Toyota's best looking car they've produced, with Subaru's help.

I work for Toyota and was able to drive one of these a few weeks ago, they've got some guts for a 2.0L and the exhaust has a nice tone to it.

Top of the range is looking at around $39,990, at my dealership we are selling them "on demand" so only getting a few until September.

Very promising product and before long i bet there will be A LOT of these gorgeous looking cars getting around.

Why is everyone getting so worked up about what it looks like?

To me the only thing that matters about a car like this is the driving experience. For all I care, it can look like a steaming pile of dog poo, as long as it's a lot of fun to drive.

Then again, I've been driving Subarus for the last 10 years, so looks in cars clearly mean nothing to me.

Looks are important. That said, it's certainly not ugly. And as an aside to that even, Toyota still deserve to sell a billion of these things.

Stil believe it needs some type of wing similar to a 180 or s15 gt. someone photoshop it, I tried and failed

You can get the Toyota 86 with a sports pack which includes body kit & a LARGE rear wing, in my opinion the wing is a bit oversized. But, the bodykit gives it a much more aggressive look. I'm yet to sell one of these cars with a sports pack it's around $4,000 extra.

With a rear wing it would look a Supra, without quite as much homo as a Supra.

Ive seen the optional wing and it looks horrible IMO, needs something inbetween that and a wing that comes on all Eco boxs

Thumbs up to this, i agree the wing is over-sized and looks too over the top for a small coupe. But in saying that i do like the bodykit.

I like the bigger rear wing, it sits up nice and high in the air and if the aero guys at Toyota have done their job right it should work well.

Also where is the performance line drawn at aero, Ive seen bigger wings on alot of lower powered cars at the track doing fast times.

I see these with some good tyres and a bit of a tweek here and there being fun and quick little trackday cars

Ordered a white gta last week, god knows when it will be delivered, they seem to speculate 5 months to 1year :(

This is the bigest problem at the moment for anyone who decides to take the leap.

Personally I'm going to wait until i have been for a drive in the BRZ then decide which one i like more and thats after being told i can have the demo toyota 86 car at work for a decent price.

can i assume you have given one a drive?

if so, how was it?

Yeh i have driven a couple now.

They handle very well and are fun little cars to drive through twisty roads. This is where they should be driven for the most out of them. Very responsive with little body roll and they just turn where you want them to turn.

They are definitely not a straight line car and you can feel it when you drive it this way but they were never built to be driven in straight lines.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
