Will you trade for a Toyota 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ?

I used to buy nothing but Toyotas. I had three Celicas and assorted other models.

The unfortunate thing about Toyota is that they dropped anything even resembling a sports car. This new one is no exception.
You've got the Lexus LF-A on one end and these pocket-rockets on the other end and nothing in the middle like the Supra used to be.

I loved all of my Toyotas, especially the dependability. I put 152,000 miles on one car, hit a telephone poll dead-center and the engine still ran like a top.
My days of driving zippy 4 poppers is over. As much as I want to like this car, I can't see myself driving one.

That Supra, at least the last model, has pretty much reached cult status at this point. I agree, my 4-cylinder days are ovah! Unless gasoline goes to $6/gallon, of course. or unless we're talking about my motorcycles

The biggest problem with the last gen Supra and even the Celicas and MR2s, was the price. They couldn't sell the things because they were so frickin' expensive. I looked at a '92 MR2 when it was new and the dealer wanted $32,000 for it. Walked away quickly.

$32K for a Mister Two?

While i was pretty young (say about 6-7) at that point in life, I have done research on the MR-2 when i owned one. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) just how much these cars cost new off the lot back in the day when they were new. If I was looking for a second car though, I think I would be looking at one of these, assuming that I could find a used one for less than 25k. But I'm definitely not trading the Z for this. (this is made on the assumption that I would be getting a second car at least a year after these are released)

I wouldn't trade it in for one of those... HOWEVER...

If Subaru decides to release a turbo version, then yes.. I would.

Until then, I'm waiting for the 2014 Mustang GT. 8-O

It looks like a fun car. however I have too much into the Z to stop and move to a different platform. I will stay with the z34 Nismo for a few more years.

I'm actually waiting for turbo 4 cylinder powered Porsche Boxster to come out. That will likely be my next new car.

Thechidz

it's a decent little car but no z. the z was/is my dream car. will only ever change when I can afford an R8.

I think its great progress in the auto world. We need more low priced quick RWD cars. Maybe once the turbo version comes out more people will like the idea of a tiny engine in a RWD sports car. But I would not sell my Z for it. Its not in the same class as the Z and more then likely never will be.

i liked small, underpowered, teen cars the first time they came out and were called miatas. im sry but subaru completely dropped the ball on this one. most of the subie guys dont even respect this thing. in what market does toyota, subie think they are going after with this $28k car..?

So, it's viewed as a downgrade, rather than a level trade or swap.

Can't see myself going back to a four banger again. In the looks dept the 86 is just ok. The Z has the power AND looks. So, in short..a resounding NO!

Can't wait for this to come out. I'm also looking forward to the new miata thats supposed to come out in early 2013. I like the FRS, but if the miata turns out to really be 2,200 lbs then I would get the miata instead of the FRS.

Wouldn't think of trading the Z for the 86. However once the Z's paid off I'd definitely consider trading my tC for it.
