I'll believe it when I see it.

...and then cry because I'll never be able to drive it.

dnationb · 10-27-2011, 12:57 PM

Meh.

Justinb928 · 10-27-2011, 12:58 PM

Looks exactlyyyyy like a damn Hyundai Genesis coupe. Meh.

sdemo45 · 10-27-2011, 01:08 PM

If they keep this thing under $25k with over 200hp, this will be my next car. Too much to ask for double wishbone on all 4 corners, eh?

kung fu jesus · 10-27-2011, 01:36 PM

I would buy it.

taJai · 10-27-2011, 01:38 PM

It could have potential. I think I'd like the non "tuned", more stock looking version better but we shall see.

NAautoxer · 10-27-2011, 02:02 PM

better than a camry or prius. i like it.. but lowest center of gravity for a production car? come on..

clutch_dust · 10-27-2011, 02:13 PM

If this would've been available before the Genesis, there would be some sort of excitement on my end. Now it just seems like Toyota is desperately trying to stay relevant, and failing. Honda just gave up.

batou · 10-27-2011, 02:51 PM

Lines are reminiscent of the 370.

I like how the sides look, but the front and rear... bleh. It's like a little kid crying for attention.

1vicissitude · 10-27-2011, 02:58 PM

I like it, minus the altezza tails. Any idea what engine is in here still?

maykelcj · 10-27-2011, 02:59 PM

It's a RWD Scion TC. Look at the quarter panels on the 2012 TC and his.

Laguna96 · 10-27-2011, 03:19 PM

i wonder if ebay will sell altezza tail lights for it...

wait a minute...

I'm fairly sure it's a na subaru,2.0 liter... So I guess theres hope of an sti/trd version.

I'd buy this as a daily driver. I like it.

Hafadai · 10-27-2011, 04:04 PM

All of my want. I will be that moron buying it year one.

Hella disappointed on that interior though. Was hoping there'd be a nice tan leather option, but with the ricer red/black two tone here, I'm doubting it.

ThatWhiteNA · 10-27-2011, 06:48 PM

Meh. The front has too much Lexus LF-A going on and the rear has too much Subie. The side profile is.... boring.

roy obanion · 10-27-2011, 06:58 PM

I think that the specs and the fact that it's RWD are what should make it interesting. Looks are kind of meh, but for the right price, I'd rock one.

ThatWhiteNA · 10-27-2011, 07:06 PM

I wouldn't buy a car that I found to be ugly just because it's rwd and performance oriented. lol

NAautoxer · 10-28-2011, 06:39 AM

i think we all need to take a step back, and remember our roots.

this thing wasn't "awe inspiring" in the looks department..

but it could perform incredibly. we're all spoiled now adays..

Sad thing is, I think they are trying to resurect that ^, hence the name.

If i had the choice between the ft86 and the genesis, id go genesis for all around looks and engine choice (waiting for flaming on that last one

)

And while Im at it, the brochure looks like it was put out the same year the miata came out.

NAautoxer · 10-28-2011, 07:52 AM

that "modellista" brochure is normal japanese style for all things new. i like it. straight to the point. no extra flash like us 'mericans demand.

and yes. they are trying to make another AE86. they have from the start. where have you been?

It's really quite interesting, isnt it?
It seems that the plainer they try to make the car look, the more interesting it is...last gen supras look AMAZING without the huge oem wing, and i like mk2 Supras better...everyone loves the old 86...and its rather simple as well. Then the Celica got worse and worse the more "styling" they tacked onto it.

2 things:

1) I agree the AE86 is one big "meh" for me as well.
2) The FT-86 seems to be a clean sheet design and not based on a Corolla, so why make it bland?

PS - they should have zoomed in more in that picture...

This. Though I like the scion a bit more aesthetically, the genesis is getting a facelift in 2013 and the addition of a supercharger to the V6. Add the 10 year warranty into the mix and I think it's a no brainer, unless the scion is considerably cheaper.

Not to mention the one time I sat in a scion tC, everything felt super cheap to me. I know its a <$20k car, but it felt more like a $10k car inside.
