I dunno about that, I heard it was going to be a joint operation between Subaru and Toyota to (more or less) 'continue' the line that the AE86 originated from - proven track cars. And I'll always call it the FT86, leave it to Scion to think of a stupid name.

I don't think he meant to imply mid-engine powered. I think it was to describe the amount of power (~200hp) it's going to have.

Re: Dope Status!!
No wheel to take. They didn't announce shit about the car and the new exterior design is still labeled 'concept', so we are still waiting to see what we have originally been waiting for:

-Actual production exterior
-Any indication of an interior
-Weight
-Power

Meh, kind of a worthless update from Toyota...


I mean why bother with bullshit like this? You know damn well the production model won't have 18in rotors that bolt to the wheel which in turn has a single centerlock hub...

I did like this part though:
Quote:
While the FR-S you see today is a concept vehicle… we envision that the sports car physique wouldn’t stop with the aggressive exterior. The interior would share the same DNA… designed with both form and function in mind. I envision it would be the perfect daily driver AND weekend warrior. How about a 2+2 seating configuration… with a fold-flat cargo area large enough to transport a full set of race-spec tires… a floor jack and the necessary pit tools for a fun day at the track? Because you and I know that not all enthusiasts have a truck and trailer.

Good point, if we're going single by single I still like Justice (Genesis is still in my top 5 of greatest songs ever made) over Daft Punk but when considering their entire career (also those fuckin badass helmets that were then blatantly ripped off by Deadmau5) Daft Punk is better.

i agree if the fart cans were gone and a little lower it would be perfect.
