Default fanboys only.......................................... AE86 Content

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/01/r...-more-details/

The new article goes into some detail of the new car's spec. Under 4m long and 1.7m wide, it's pretty low at 1.35m tall, and engineers have been directed to keep weight below 1,000kgs. Power will come from a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for 120 horsepower. What has been unknown until this time is where Toyota would source a cheap RWD drivetrain, but Best Car has learned that it will come from new partner Fuji Heavy Industries - better known to you and me as Subaru.

And the best news of all? The committee's final directive is to keep the new car's sticker price below 1.5million Yen. That's about $12,300 USD in today's money.
I'll bet it wont be sold in the US :chuckles:

it looks like they lopped the end off of a celica.

if it sells well enough, I can see that replacing the tC for Scion.

The tC is a joke. I have no idea why people buy those things.

My gf had one for about a yr but got rid of it cause of her insurance. :happysad:


It's a pretty decent car, a nice A----------->B kinda coupe and doesn't look all that bad. It's priced a lil high though. It's a nice female car. h:
