Satria_neo Clutched August 29, 2011 Share August 29, 2011 It should be coming early next yr I think...... Waiting for it for a long long time already. Only downside is that I feel its going to be a relatively heavy car. I would prefer something like the AE86, 1.6L 4AGE 20V (perhaps an improved version with VVTi) and minimalist interior to save weight, optional radio.... that would be cool!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limxiaoming 2nd Gear August 29, 2011 Share August 29, 2011 Yup i'm totally looking forward to the FT-86 too. If COE drops to 20k, its a no brainer for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear August 29, 2011 Share August 29, 2011 Looking forward is for sure. But can boneo priced it affordable? Look at the price of budget altis and Camry.....already so ex. I assume fT86 will be priced above as premium sport cars..... The only chance it can get good sales is if the price is within the VW golf or Scirocco range. If not it will be a niche market for rich people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit 1st Gear August 29, 2011 Share August 29, 2011 Saw the specs in a popular Jap car mag early this year.. IMHO, I was expecting more from the new boxer engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satria_neo Clutched August 29, 2011 Author Share August 29, 2011 Saw the specs in a popular Jap car mag early this year.. IMHO, I was expecting more from the new boxer engine. Talking about the engine, I am somewhat dissapointed.... I am hoping for it to be an improved 3SGE or 4AGE. But instead, Toyota decide to use a Subaru Boxer instead.....

1fast1 Supersonic August 29, 2011 Share August 29, 2011 The Subaru version will have a better engine and more power (260hp). But it looks like being a WRX 2.5 block rather than an STi block. Why did they go for the former instead of the latter, and 300+hp? Maybe Subaru will follow-up shortly with an STi equivalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockngbrd Supersonic September 1, 2011 Share September 1, 2011 not at the current COE prices. So sad. launched into a future like the S13/S14/S15s, with the super high COEs, many will be deregistered after 5 and 10 yrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
