>be toyota
>have a good series like Celica that was cut in the mid 2000s
>people want a sporty affordable car like Celica used to be
>perfect opportunity to come back with the Celica series
>design a car
>it's meh
>call it gt86 because "we want the dagumifag audience"
FUCKING WHY
All they had to do was:
>call it Celica because it fucking looks like one
>Toyota makes FWD variant with current engine
>Subaru makes a 4WD variant with a turbo engine like GT Four used to be BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SUBARU AND THEY MAKE AWD CARS
>Scion is the RWD variant with a bigger, say 2.3l engine
This is needlessly complex. Toyota needs to do one thing:
>Options for more power
>>15887341
All we need is
>Subaru BRZ STI
>New Celica
>New Supra
>Lexus Sedan with the LFA Engine that will BTFO the lazy Germans
>>15887362
>needlessly complex
They literally did that for years with Celica.
>>15887362
This. It's a fun car to drive, with decent build quality and pricing. It's just weak.
>>15887379
If they make a brz sti, the sti brand will be dead
>>15887341
>making a whole longitudinal engine mounted variant just for scion to have an RWD
nigger you must be joking
>>15887341
Turbo when?
>>15887460
But it already is RWD.
FWD could come from their regular toyota lines.
AWD comes from Subaru which is already making awd cars anyway.
>>15887341
>Scion
I thought that brand was dead
>>15887566
It is, the 86 is just Toyota continuing the FR-S now that Scion is gone
>>15887486
it wouldn't make very much sense to keep the engine mounted longitudinally with a fwd set up. you would have to change the mounts anyways to fit the transmission wouldn't you?
And what's the point of making it fwd again?
>>15887599
>it wouldn't make very much sense to keep the engine mounted longitudinally with a fwd set up. you would have to change the mounts anyways to fit the transmission wouldn't you?
Well if they'd make an AWD variant with a boxer then there's no reason why they wouldn't make a cheaper FWD.
>And what's the point of making it fwd again?
Cheaper. Besides Celicas beside the GT4 were fwd
>>15887599
>longitudinal boxer
This is the real problem with the OP
Ill rather have a miata with a roof. I bet toyota could be retarded enough to make it cvt only
>>15887394
>options for more power
>pigfat complicated AWD system + turbo
>or gutless 2.2l
I wouldnt really call that an option. I think he meant stuff like dealer aftermarket, like the CR-Z supercharger kit
>>15887599
And the suspension.
>>15887341
>Toyota
>doing anything reasonable with the Scion brand besides making toyotas with fake aero for teenagers
>bitching and whining about a dead name
>>15887639
They would have to spend crazy amounts of money redesigning it just to make a shittier version that no one would want. Your idea is absolutely bonkers.
>>15887341
This is stupid. You're stupid.
Just buy a seventh gen Celica with the 2ZZ and go understeer into a guardrail you dumb fuck.
>>15892209
Actually just get the shitty 1ZZ Celica and do it. There are too few nice 2ZZ models surviving to waste on a stupid faggot like you.
>>15887379
This. They already have the turbo FA20 from the WRX.
>>15887341
Replaced hair dressers car with a sports car.
Can Toyota do no wrong?
Guys, my brother said "I want to get an FRS or a BRZ so people will take me seriously when I say 'I know about cars'"
I didn't have the heart to tell him it would do the opposite.
>>15887407
sounds like a celica to me.
>>15892306
your brother needs a beating
>>15892318
I've decided they're just neat little cars for people who aren't really into cars.
>>15887418
The STi brand has been dead for a long time.
