I think 4 is enough, But yes, the light there looks odd. Maybe they should of made it a bit smaller.

The Toyota's looks are starting to grow on me, however I still prefer subaru's brz more

pricing for japan released. Granted the exchange rates and pricing could differ from country to country...

Prices for the entry-level “Customizing Grade” 86 will start at $25,950. Apparently intended for those that plan on turning their ride into a customized tuner car, the base model 86 comes with unpainted bumpers, a six-speed manual transmission and no air conditioning.

For those less interested in aftermarket body kits, Toyota will offer three more traditional trim-levels for the 86 – the G ($31,425), mid-level GT ($36,380) and range-topping GT Limited ($38,730). Options include LED headlamps and a Torsen LSD.

Toyota originally targeted a price point of $20,000 for the U.S. Version of the 86 (Scion FR-S), but has indicated that price could land closer to the $25,000 mark. Given the Japanese pricing of the car, we wouldn’t be surprised to the FR-S within spitting distance of $30,000.

There has to be more wiggle room on price between countries,... because I don't see that working out well.

I think the "customizing grade" is a cool idea, but I don't know how much it will sell. That being said, I'm assuming they will be made to order

Jason: Where is your picture(s) from yesterday!?

Whats with all the fire extinguishers? Is Toyota making a fireball with a sticky throttle? ... I for one hope so!

Hahaha Nomarz wants the v8. Maybe this will inspire supra production in some way

Nomar has BMW.. Put a V8 in the BMW

A car guy we were talking with recently swore on the fact that there was no way a V8 would fit in the Toyota GT 86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ. "The hood line's too low," he said.
Japanese drifter Max Orido has proven that guy wrong -- and built a totally bitchin' drift machine -- by shoving the 416-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 from the Lexus IS-F into his new D1 Grand Prix Drift car.

I guess I'll be seeing a lot of FT-86/FR-S/BR-Z swapped with IS-F V8 or 2JZ on the next Formula Drift events.

Yes I'm sure. It's the new craze! LOL

I think the production 86 should have been a v6 or a turbo'd 250hp (similar to the s15) car, even though the bigger engine will throw off the weight distribution. A flat 6 would be pretty cool. Haha.

I wouldn't say no to it....that vid reminds me of the noises Mikes brothers LS1 swapped 240 makes.

Yuz! If I remember correctly there was a drift 335i that had a V8 or V10 swapped into it.
