All week I was looking forward to seeing the car and then they still brought it with Camo.
Toyota, you are fake news! |

At Goodwood a Toyota official said production will start in the 1st quarter of 2019, and sales in the UK will began in the 2nd quarter.

Is anyone else having a hard time with this? The MKIV was the end-all for me.
I will say that the size looks promising. I'm sure it will be fun to drive. But this just seems like a "suped" up (pun intended) 86. And at a starting price (for the V6) reported at $63k? No thanks! What am I missing?

However why anyone would get this over the equivalent BMW would be beyond me. |

They should have just made this car a better thought out GT86 with a hybrid I6 setup and 400+ hp to compete with the $35k-$45k Mustang GT and Camaro SS. Pricing it above that will just lead to the same quick fizz out the overpriced and heavy Mk4 had. 12-18 months of decent sales and then crickets and incentives. |

But i doubt they see 12-18 months of decent sales; i'm thinking closer to 6-10 months. edit: with seeing many returned because after the honeymoon stage people will not be able to justify the price for performance and swap out to a real performance car or drop down in $$ value. |

I've seen two Type R's. I've seen more McLaren 720's than goober Civics. Like the S2000, once the dumb dealers stop being a-holes, people will start buying them, but that's another car that doesn't make a lot of sense when compared to Focus RS's, Golf R's and STI's. Much less Mustangs and Camaros.

It looks like it has the same proportions as a 2 series from BMW... i was expecting to be more in proportion with a 4 series than a 2 but wtv.

It's a two seater, and about 4inches shorter than a 2er and a foot shorter than an F32. Likely sixteen or so inches shorter than the G32.
