2012 Toyota 86 @ 2011 Tokyo Auto Show

[grievsa07]

this and the subaru brz look very similar

[jpwhatwhat1028]

@grievsa07 lol they even have a scion version

[ChickinSammichMan]

@grievsa07 Same exact car, different brand and different steering wheel position depending on market location.

It's got a Subaru Flat 4, with Toyota styling, Super low center of gravity (lower than Ferrari 458 Italia), and 53/47 weight distribution.

Amazing car, really.

Drifter Ken Gushi can whip a stock one around a track no problem, so it should be a good one (;

[grievsa07]

@ChickinSammichMan haha! jeez, just proves that they all have their hands in each others pockets :P although.. I cant complain considering these companies brought us the supra and impreza can I :P Does sound VERY nice indeed there chickin!

[TheWarCandy]

it's very unusual to see a sportscar/supercar toyota. They're like know for everyday city cars:D Lol

[jpwhatwhat1028]

@TheWarCandy are you a little kid?..they own one of the most popular sports car which is the supra..

[mp4c12winning]

Saw the fr-s on motor trend and I'm sad that the fr-s and the 86 look kind of different I wanted the same car just a different badge here in america why did they have to mess with anything :(

[snobizz9]

Why does it have to be a Scion in North America? That's just a shame

[gladiator1245]

@snobizz9 a rose by any name would smell just as sweet

[turbo311]

This car is a big deal. It could trigger the repopularization of affordable sports coupes. Too bad North America has to get it badged as a Scion. Toyota North America doesn't care about sports cars, just hybrids and trucks. I'll buy the Subaru BRZ version thank you.

[sdlausen]

@turbo311 I agree with you 100%. To me, the BRZ also looks better and it just seems more mature. I suppose because it's not a Scion haha.

[turbo311]

@sdlausen Totally. I'd love to have a Toyota sports car, and I love Subarus, but every time I see a Scion badge I can't take it seriously as a car. Like "Oh you got a Scion you must think that's cool, how much did you spend on accessories??"

[000SaviourXXX]

Look very nice :) but getting abit close to nissan 370Zish turf in the style department.

[aerilwings]

Boring Car~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ouzts12]

new supra?

[TigerKurdish]

this looks alot better than the Subaru version! I like the aggressive  front bumper of this one much better.

the back also looks better BUT those see through tail lights look horrible these see through tail lights are the look of early 2000 cars they should have just used darker red shade for the tail lights :(

[mastrbong]

it looks like a rx8

[mp4c12winning]

I think the 86 looks a lot better than the BRZ...idk why

[TigerKurdish]

@mp4c12winning very true! I agree but man those ugly see through tail lights are from early year 2000! they need to be a darker shade. I hope the north american version looks like this one body style wise.

[justforwatchingcraps]

@mp4c12winning maybe the color because other than the badges they are identical in production version apparently...but the concept brz with the LED tail lights and front splitter looked best

[Balo657]

that looks exactly like the 2013 subaru brz

[EdgeVSpear]

ハチロク？なんか違和感があるのは私だけ＾＾

[sa10maxpower]

I wish they made the subaru version AWD. Still excited for the relase tho. Hopefully honda will catch up and release a sports car to compete.

[MichiganGoBlue115]

hard to hear

[SergeantVeteran]

Nice car but I really don't get why there bringing this in the US as a "Scion". It's as though Toyota has given up on making cool cars and is coming to US in disguise.

[DroverChicago]

@SergeantVeteran - They're bringing it as Scion because it's the "youth/sporty" marque for the Toyota line now. They're aiming for a young audience with this car so Scion is the logical marque for it. So yeah, you're not too far off the mark with regard to the Toyota marque having given up on cool cars. The Toyota badge has become the Buick of Japan.

[swollpatroljg]

i still don't understand why subaru and toyota collaborated on this?!? they made the exact same car haha

[disengagejam]

@swollpatroljg -- i thought the same thing ... exact damn engine in both ... only difference is the badge on the front !!! what a letdown for almost 4 years of hype (a Subaru STI version could actually make it bad ass)

[DroverChicago]

@swollpatroljg - Toyota owns a controlling stake in Subaru's parent company (Fuji Heavy Industries). The only reason I can think of for having both a Subaru and Toyota version is to try to appeal to fans and/or loyal customers of both marques. Toyota needs something like this desperately since they have no serious sports cars in their entire product line any more. IMO a Subaru version is pointless on account of the WRX, esp. with Subaru trading on their "all-AWD" lineup for so long.

[CJAEY]

@DroverChicago

I think Subaru should have made another AWD coupe to revive the Subaru RS coupe/22B and what not.

[mp4c12winning]

I wonder if this will be this generations supra.....I hope so!....even though you can never can replace the supra it's worth a shot

[wtf000000000000]

@mp4c12winning at least we are lucky enough to have toyota and subaru to make something better than ever for around 30K

[DroverChicago]

@Arguemento - what difference does it make if Scion or Toyota gets it? If you don't want a Scion badge on your car, you can always get the Subaru one instead.

[cb7pwn]

beautiful. but Why The F is Scion getting this one!?.... TOYOTA needs this, not Scion

[saboobuu]

I really don't like the front...

[ModeloIbarra]

@Arguemento iill just rebadge it as a toyota myself



[gkward1981]

shitty!!!!!!!!! they need to put the LFA v10 in it, or at the very least a twin turbo 6 cylinder.
