Tail lights make a huge difference man. Pretty nice

[@zdenojasoyasho3077]

86 looks better , front side than BRZ , and automatic is better!

[@Ak_guy907]

Nice! I'm not much for sporty cars, but this actually looks appealing

[@cbr600f4i2]

I finally get mine tomorrow so if there's a link with options (non TRD), I'd love to review it. I'm not getting the TRD exhaust since I don't want the car to sound like a coffee can :) The normal exhaust, even on the youtube videos, has some sound. More than my MR2 did. The Spoiler wasn't an option they had already so I had to wait a week just for it to get to the dealer...then they have to paint it. Totally unorganized, it's like they've never taken delivery of a car before lol. Now that I think about it I probably could have gotten Subaru to put the BRZ spoiler on it...looks a little better.

[@ravenschamps2058]

Basically it’s the same car just raising the price they are doing the same as iPhone same phone add one new thing and sell it for more 😒

[@Aatish2k8]

Here in the UK, we have armrests already installed. Lol

[@toyoda_tony]

I like the new interior but the exterior differences are not as nice as before

[@cbr600f4i2]

What do you think about the accessories, like the TRD sway bar, dual exhaust, quickshifter, lowering springs & air intake?

[@LoyalDriven]

jcar9_sm fmx all great additions. I also think there are some sweeter aftermarket options!

[@JUStCALLMEZIMM]

Any new one the Supra?

[@LoyalDriven]

Word is we'll see something in 2018/19.

[@guyproulx1660]

will the 86 be available in Canada?

[@rickgoddard8632]

of course

[@fitnessforyou1]

why dont they have a leather and sunroof option? can that be added on? would you recommend this or a 2016 Genesis coupe?

[@LoyalDriven]

fitnessforyou1 I'm totally biased as I love the Toyota brand. That said, the Genesis Coupe is a nice car but not easy to compare with the 86 considering the Genesis Coupe boasts more power but is also a bigger car overall and can be optioned with more amenities.

[@cbr600f4i2]

I agree, the Toyota brand and reliability are much greater than most other cars, esp the Genesis. Better resale value as well.

[@craigcarmean4807]

fitnessforyou1 : Genesis

[@atobg_]

genesis will come with much come in the interior but this is more fun to drive not to mention the genesis couple has terrible mpg worse than muscle cars

[@K03sport]

2019 addresses these issues or go to your Subaru dealer for a brz limited.

[@cbr600f4i2]

Thanks for the candid reply. I was thinking of a similar solution, using the carbon fibre that BR-Z uses in the exact locations on the 86. If you or anyone else watching knows it that can be used, I'd love to know.

[@xavierlara8344]

Price

[@norzum7767]

somebody knows what's the price for the standard versión?.

[@X1ProGamerX1]

I rather drive my 2014 Scion TC.

[@atobg_]

got oceanic

[@LoyalDriven]

stillouthere Congrats! Great color.

[@cbr600f4i2]

That suede interior trim a.k.a. Grand Lux ain't so grand looking. It's going to date that interior fast. The BR-Z has carbon fibre instead and is much better looking. Much more! Hopefully the 86 suede parts can be replaced with the BRZ's since they are almost identical vehicles.

[@LoyalDriven]

I agree that the "Gran Lux" is not the most satisfying for interior trim...better than the plain plastic it replaced. If I owned one, I would have an upholstery shop make me something nicer.

[@dannyjr2804]

When is the 2018 model being revealed

[@desolatesurfer8651]

It's the 2012 gt 86

[@JustRiceLeague]

Do you think Toyota will release a limited trim? Every country seems to get that except the U.S. The only other option would be the BRZ but I really like the new style of the 86 (frs).

[@LoyalDriven]

I really hope so...but I have not heard anything.

[@claireb8121]

Most likey limited trim will be converted into some special edition like scion signature series from Toyota. I've heard that we wont be getting the limited trim which I was also hoping for. Very stupid move from Toyota. They will most likely lose lots of sales to Subaru, since Subaru is more favorable.

[@JustRiceLeague]

Claire B I agree, I was going to get the new 86 until I saw that they didn't change a thing on the inside.I love Toyota at heart and always liked the styling for the old frs and now the 86 but really a bummer when dealers want the 86 for the same price as the limited brz.

[@MisakiLeasim]

The then-FRS outsold the Subaru version every year. Although I don't think it'll be a sales hit, it might help Toyota get caught up until a new version comes out.

[@taishou94]

What was the weight of the new 86?

[@LoyalDriven]

Around 2,800 lbs.

[@mrpmj00]

I just test drove a manual transmission with TRD today and it is slow as hell. Steering was precise and quick but there is NOOO power past 80mph. I floored it but it had nothing more to give me. Conversely, my 2014 Toyota Highlander is just getting started at 70mph and can easily accelerate uphill to 110mph. This is 2016 and yet there's no side marker lights on the body or the side mirrors. Also no sunroof and no keyless entry (Hello, this is 2017). No telescoping steering wheel. Speedometer is very hard to read your speed. Short story, NO SALE for me.

[@LoyalDriven]

I wish it had keyless entry...a sunroof (more like a pano roof) would be sweet but that would take those sexy rakes on the roof away. Sorta like the Camaro...if you know what I mean. If you're pushing over 80mph, sounds like you don't care much for seeing the speedometer, LOL.

[@mrpmj00]

LOYALTOYOTA I can see your point that some prefer the roof lines but for me, I prefer a sunroof. Different strokes for different folks.

[@mrpmj00]

@15FG4SI: I sat in the 370Z and the seat is way too low and I feel like I'm in a cave instead of me controlling the car. I can't comfortably rest my left arm on the door.

[@AryzenI]

What? No keyless? I swear I saw a keyless model in a lot the other day.

[@mrpmj00]

I've just gotten home from test driving a 2017 Camaro V6 convertible in stick with dual exhaust note option. Omg, the power is AWESOME and the ride is not harsh like the 2014 Porsche Cayman and 2016 Mazda Mx-5 club or touring.
