Will the GT86 and BRZ be, in 15 years, what the Nissan 240SX

>>15613810
Yes. and if the s-fr is actually made that will be the real ae86 follow up

>>15613810
You could say this about the majority of used sports cars over 15 years old.

>>15613814
TFW NO SFR AND IT WILL N E V E R HAPPEN

>>15613810
>trash engine people want to swap as soon as they get it used
Wow. It really is a 240sx
>>15613814
If they made it and it had a trim with an engine that revved higher the s-fr really is an ae86

>>15613814

Well, Subaru is making a successor to this car, so if this car is considered the 240SX, wouldn't the "upgraded" successor be considered the GT-R?

>>15614037
They are?

What's it called?

I'm guessing Subaru is kind of pissed over what Toyota wants this car to be, even after Toyota paid Subaru fuck tons of money to produce this car.
No idea what they will name it, but hopefully is will be just as fun, Subaru knows what they are attracting with the brz.

>>15614052
So it's literally going to become a hardtop Miata?

>>15613810
No because the frs isnt a massive pile of shit like the 240 was and still is.

Toyota's answer to one anyway, I don't blame them for trying to take on a dominated market, but it seems that Subaru doesn't want it to be a miata fighter and I don't blame them, that's not Subaru's appeal.
>>15614079
Toyota didn't want to make it a soft top either, and it was the other way around on the turbo.
>>15614081
Toyota now wants to make a car with BMW, seems they're the town bike at the moment and can't settle on one cock.

>>15614086
Yes they did.
Subaru squashed it because muh STI sales

>>15614099
Listen Accept its all toyotas fault
Toyota SUCKS
and they DOUBLE SUCK for not bringing the s-fr to the states

The BRZ/86 need a supercharger more than a turbo. Lighter, less complex, linear power delivery, cheaper. Toyota is familiar with them, they should be able to make one.

It doesn't need much more peak power/torque, it just needs a bit more with a flatter torque curve. That's why everyone with a lightly modified 86 says that "it should have been like this out of the factory."

>>15614106

The GT-86 feels like weeb attractant to help boost sales because muh ae86, they even made a tribute to initial-d and had it styled just like takumi's car.
The FT-1 looks like it's going to be hybrid and that doesn't boast well for the aftermarket community who do the same thing to their supra, I'm hoping it's just a large engine with oddly placed coolers.
S-FR is what I think Toyota had in mind for the toyobaru, and now it'll make the gt86 look out of place as a car.
>>15614139
And how is the car shit?

>>15614044
It's socially and economically infeasible.

They'll just ban road cars not made within the last import wait+5 for "safety and emissions purposes" (read: getting poor people off the road), increase driver requirements, up the taxes, and upgrade public mass transit, making musk look like a delusional manchild for holding his "hurr muh futuristic 1950s with self driving pods whizzing around" fantasy

This will ultimately benefit /o/, because despite the price, the roads will be significantly emptier and safer, so much faster for the people that can afford to use them.

For someone who accuses others of having thin skin, you throw tantrums like a child, you threw out a bland statement that anyone can make and I asked for an elaboration. I made a counter argument to your statement and now you're having an anal apocalypse.
This car is something I haven't had in a long time.
FUN
Not many of the "modern" cars today offer this, I don't have fun in Fords or Chevys (examples) because they don't feel like they offer it, they don't feel like they give the pure feel of the road, this car felt like a step back to those days, it's the feel of a high-end roadster with the aftermarket of a car 10 years ago.

>>15614334
Most of these people probably weren't alive when the MKIV Supra they love so much came out. Literally 4000 pounds with the driver on board and only available in automatic by '96. It was a $45,000 car for ageing women and their boy toys, made famous when atypical owners put V12s in them and/or boosted them to hell and back.

I'd gladly have one any day, but the cars are what they are.

The FoST has to be one of the worst modern cars I have ever driven, from the clutch being the worst thing I've ever pushed into and ruining the fun of a manual to the throttle being as unresponsive as a wheel chaired vegetable.
I looked into this car even further to find reports because it was on a list I was recommended to me when looking for a new car and all I found was shit going wrong with it after the hype train left.
This car and all of fords "hot hatches" have made me hate ford even more.

If you're going to meme me, at least try to act like you read the entire thing, but I did miss out on the ECOSTANG.
But do I really have to drive it to know it's an awful car at this point with the 5.0L being better in all regards?

>>15614466
It depends on what you value honestly. But comparing a $32k Mustang v8 to sub-$25k turbo-4s is pretty silly, even if some boostangs are running 10s. The hatches are pretty much best in class (though the Focus has its issues).

What car so you even drive m8?

Ah, no wonder your mad at the ecoboost hatches.

And you'd buy the turbostang because you want one, it's for better than a Genesis and competes well with a Z. Also, if your a yuropoor.

I'm an Americlap, I'm not mad at them the way I think you're trying to put it, I don't like them because they felt awful to drive, power and acceleration go out the door if I can't enjoy the ride. I can at least enjoy shifting in my car, the FoST was the worst thing I have ever shifted in.
