^ yeah, definitely not a car to get if one actually plans on using the back seats. Interesting about the exhaust...Hopefully it's just been driven carelessly and it's not gonna scrape every pebble when lowered
It's a nice option to have the rear seats available IF you happen to need the extra seats once in a while, whereas 2 seaters like Z's and S2k's don't give that option at all. Not being able to offer rides to moochers because you only have 2 seats is a convenient excuse, but sometimes a bit of practicality is nice.
The exhaust 'dents' are not from driving damage. They are bent into the exhaust piping from the factory to clear underbody components.
Talked to the Scion dealer at the autoshow over the weekend.
Expects cars in June. 15 cars already spoken for. No test drives available until June, and you'll need to put down a $500 refundable deposit.
Hunted around the Subaru BRZ for a rep and couldn't find one.
Given the hype surrounding the car, I don't think having a refundable deposit at launch is a huge deal. Or else there would be a ton of people just wanting a test drive a small handful of available cars without much serious intent to buy. I know I would.

i really wish they had labelled this a toyota to revive their sportier heritage and possibly pave the way for a supra predecessor to go head to head with nissan. disappointing in that sense.

Just change the badges...
Having it as a Scion is good, we dont have dealer mark ups like Subaru ($5000 extra in US) with pure price.
^^^^ doesnt the steering wheel say "86" on it? it does in Japan :/
Couldn't you ask a dealership to import a Toyota badged one? shouldn't that be easy to do since they're coming from the same place?
Nope, the steering wheel has a Scion badge on it. And yeah you could buy a JDM airbag but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's probably pretty expensive.
RS.net, where our google ads make absolutely no sense!

I think the RC is a great move by Toyota. A very good sign that they actually care about the aftermarket crowd. People who are planning to mod the car will probably go with a more aggressive rims/lsd and remove A/C anyway.
pretty decent for people that don't want to keep it stock unless they go all European and charge people more for giving them less...
nope, unlike the europeans, toyota in japan are actually charging peopel less for the strip down version... a great move indeed, now only to bring it here...

not quite a fair comparison as that AE86 is pretty heavily modded. should have used a more mildly modified car. but hell, I'll take it, still so anxious to sit in one. want to test drive so badlyyyyy.

Saw a pic on FT86 forums that they have landed here so maybe they will be available for test driving before they go on sale!
