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

FL 4Motion · 12-11-2011, 11:01 PM

In a word: "no".

Toyota 86? I thought Hyundai already made a Genesis?

The Scion kinda = RX8 as far as styling

Subaru... see my comment about the Genesis.

I would never trade in my Z for the FR-S. I'd consider it a huge downgrade. I do think it'll be a great little car, but I'm hugely disappointed the production version doesn't look like THIS bad boy:

It had people crowded around it with their mouths open. I don't expect the production version will garner the same response.

370z for a FRS?? You crazy. The 370z will out-handle and overpower the FRS. The crub weight of the production car will be more in the 2800 lbs.

They've already released production weights and they are under 2800 lbs.

I like the BRZ/FR-S. Cool little car but right now it just doesn't have the power to replace a 370Z. Now if you can get a turbo BRZ pushing 300hp from the factory while still coming in around 2,700 lbs that might be a different story depending on what people are looking for out of the car.

nonono down grade

Subaru will not give the brz 300hp from the factory. That will kill the sales of their wrx and sti lines.

Doubt it. The AWD/sedan crew would still be hard after them, especially with no Evo.

What do you mean NO EVO? I thought mitsu decided the EVO would keep going and only the eclipse would be cancelled?

Diesel hybrid, very possibly not coming to US

I don't think so. They are totally different cars.

If anything it would give WRX STi owners that want a RWD sports car an in-house option instead of jumping ship to a 370Z or something like that. Subie would stand a better chance at retaining those buyers than they would without a powerful version of the BRZ.

I would rather go after a late model 180sx or S15 Silvia. Much better power/weight and already has TONS of after market support.

PapoZalsa · 12-12-2011, 10:29 AM

Anyway the FR-S's is suppose to be like a retro of the old school Corolla, even that I don't see any resemblance to it.

The Toyota Corolla didn't have a powerful engine for that time, now the Supra is a different story.

m4a1mustang · 12-12-2011, 10:50 AM

I don't know about the Eclipse but the EVO is canned for 2013.
