    Finally - Toyota Shows The Production Version FT-86

    After two years and countless number of concepts, Toyota will show off the production version of the FT-86 sports car. Toyota's UK office released pictures and some tidbits about the vehicle. In Europe, the coupe will be called GT 86.

    Here's the specs of the GT 86:

    • 2.0L boxer with D4-S injection (direct and port injected)
    • 197 hp @ 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) @6,600 rpm
    • 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions
    • 17-inch wheel/tire package standard
    • 4,240mm (167 in.) long, 1285mm (50.6 in.) high, 2,570mm (101 in.) wide
    • 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution
    • 475mm (18.7 in.) center of gravity

    Inside the GT 86 is a three-gauge cluster with a larger tachometer, carbon fiber styled trim, an all black roof, red stitching, aluminum pedals, and “aviation-style” switches.

    The GT 86 will go on sale in Europe next June.

    We'll learn more about the Toyota GT 86 or FT-86 next week at Tokyo Motor Show.

    Too bad there are unnecessarily fussy details inside and out. What is the need for all the small quarter windows that are showing up? Interesting roof detail--will that preclude a sunroof? Subaru will probably have the better looking version.

    I think the Subaru will be the better looking fraternal twin in this family.

    Is there no way to style a modern coupe so that it has a longer shelf life? I see this as too trendy to ever become a classic.

    Wow... 101" wide... that'll trump the XTS by far. Toyota wins! ;)

    :lol:

    I think that's a mistranslation of "wheelbase."

    The interior of the BRZ/GT86 reminds me very faintly of the Porsche 924 and 944 interiors.

    In fact, there's a peculiar 924/944 vibe to the BRZ/GT in general.

    I'm not going to lie, I sort of have the hots for the BRZ. However, I would almost bet that my budget is going to agree more with the Scioyota Fries86 (or whatever the hell Toyota will call it in the US market).

      Tariff Tuesday - Buick's Tough Spot

      This is interesting, @A Horse With No Name saw this today on Instagram as it was Mexico plated BYD driving in California. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHjpyzky6k3/?igsh=MTl0a3lxOGR0YjZtMA==

      Tariff Tuesday - Buick's Tough Spot

      Oddly enough it's the Envision, the Chinese one, that is the most unique of the Buick lineup. While it is plaform-shared with the Terrain and 'Nox, it has different dimensions in and out and does feel like a significantly more premium vehicle.   Unless someone is really hung up about brand and RWD, I would recommend an Envision Avenir over a X3 or GLC any day. I can't say the same about a Terrain Denali though.

      The Toyota version looks better than the Lexus version.  And they should call it Avalon, instead of bz7.

      If I was rich with extra cash I would have shorted Tesla stock back at the start of Idiot47 having taken office and Black Maga Puppet Master Musk having done the stupidity he is doing. At this point, I do not see Tesla recovering and the market is not really recovering either. I suspect it would take forensic accounting review of Tesla, but I think Fraud has already happened in many ways, just look at the GPU issue thing and the movement of them to his AI project. Things are moved around, does not seem to be any paper trail or transparency of the business. Manipulation all for his own personal interest. If the Tesla Cyber Truck was the winner Musk promised, then the 800V system and the style would be selling over and over without the thousands sitting around and the idling of the assembly line. If Tesla was truly leading the auto industry, then the New Y would be on 800V and not still running on a 400V system. Other auto companies, especially in China have far exceeded Tesla now. Tesla is becoming irrelevant. Their biggest plus is their supercharger stations, the rest of their auto line is pathetic.
