New AE86 RUMOR! (FT-86 concept)

[SekiguchiUeno]

True words aussiefan.

To come cheap it should equate the yaris, ordinary engine (1,5vvti) use much existing parts as rear axle and dif from subaru, modifying the platform from some kei van with rwd and done. But it will be still expensiver as yaris because of lack on common parts that must be new developed.

And if i hear some dreaming here about subaru platforms and 200+ hp i laugh only. If this is true then stay be prepared for one expensive car in the subaru wrx range, nithing wrong here, technology is not cheap. But then be sure we are glad it weights only 1300kg, and if it includes subaru platform either the legacy or impreza then the RWD is absolutely no advantage because of weight distribution.

In fact for me i have found modern hachiroku, well it has another shape, proportions,drives the wrong wheels(but what is here wrong)
but similar charactered engine and is very fun to drive for an modern cheap car. how many from us can drive the ae86 to max. with the swift you can, it has neutral handling, the rear slides slightly on fast curves it is like the small brother of the dc2.
Still i am deciding if i buy it or not. because we need space, everyone needs SPACE in these days, because of this cars are heavy and big. Looks at the new auris, it has 91kw well done engine with wide torque band i think but its tragic, it weights around 1500kg.

Laught or not for me the best toyota now is the new Prius, 1A car, i would buy it if i had money(and if i needed a car to daily commuting). And i hope the hybride technologies improve and will be more common, its the way to go. I can still have some real ae86 as historic car in the garage for those special days.
