I had a notch back hachi roku (AE86) at one time. Great little car.

The new one is supposed to be powered by a Subaru boxer engine, they've been calling it a Toyobaru. Toyota owns a stake in Fuji Heavy Industry. I hope they don't use what's in the current STI, I hear they are so sensitive & weak in the piston they blow up if you just look at it wrong...

A good friend told me at at a recent track day (of mosly industry guys) 2 with just cat back's went home on flat beds with block damage. Yikes.
