Toyota 86

[blackvussii]

One car I am looking forward to the release of and yes I realise it will be double the price of the FT86 (according to web sources, I think it may go for more!) is the Alpha Romeo 4C. How does a target weight of 900kg with a 300hp 1.7L turbo engine sound?

Been watching the developement of that. Looks awesome, plenty of go and rwd too.

such alot of exceitment over this new car, its great to see a major car company, spending $ and making this car a reality, Rwd, sports car, instant classic, so much potential. i just whish holden would get off its #$%^ and do the same, when they anounced a possible torana years ago i thought hooray, a mid sized rwd............. FAIL FAIL FAIL

its not rocket science to see we dont want fwd cars, unless we want a cheap runabout thats good on fuel. There is a market for poo and there is a market in such demand it's been overlooked.

well done suburu, well done toyota. Shame i dont need a daily driver cause i'd buy one.

Why does our cheap runabout need to even be FWD?? these cars are meant to get something like 8l per hundred. The difference in price between that and a 6l per hundred is **** all.. 3 dollars per 100 kms, 30 dollars per thousand, and have a look how much more you get. These cars don't appeal to us v8 people, their spectrum is way broader!! Middle aged woman, young woman, with the fast four guys this will be a cult car! Look and listen Holden, u wonder why the japs are smashing us in car sales, how about trying to build a car that appeals to a different group of people other then families and rev heads!

We would also benefit from this, if Holden are making more money through a diff car other then the commodore we might get seat earners and auto wipers for the same price..

is it possible to photoshop a 2 door Cruze just to see what one would look like
There was a photo and comment in another thread about a 2 door Opel that was being tested in Oz,Holden said it will never be released here
I like the Nissan skyline/Infinity 350 GT 2 door,don't know why it was never released here,damn insurance is too expensive on the grey imports

New ssv fully optioned, he still refuses it as a mid life crisis car, should be a good looking garage to once mums new Toyota 86 gts is delivered too, hopefully on Wednesday she will go and pick it up.. 18/6 she has been told..

It bloody tiny, and the back seats are way too small to be utilized for much

I am sure there will be a few couples who will manage to christen the back seat just to prove it can be done

You would have to be a rice munching midget to do that

Saw a 86 on the road today. Looks like Toyota has done a great job. Sounds like a very nice car. $30k starting price is excellent value. Fun doesn't necessarily mean lots of power.

Nice little car. Do they make them for men?
No turbo = weak
