October 26, 201312 yr Look Here: ~► http://www.carthrottle.com/toyotas-done-the-dirty-on-us-gt86-saloon-confirmed/ So sad it is not April 1st, so it must be True... Kind Regards.
October 26, 201312 yr I think a sedan 86 is a great idea! Small, light and Rwd. What's not to like? It's not an Impreza though, the 86/BRZ architecture places the engine too low and too far back for that!
October 26, 201312 yr Author Despite that I really Like the Idea of a Subaru BRZ Saloon, I dislike the Idea that Toyota could start selling the Impreza WRX under the Toyota Badge, Because I saw Photos of the New (2014) impreza WRX prototype and it really looks to me that it is Based on the BRZ Chassis... http://youtu.be/DMwRHpR_UHU
October 31, 201312 yr I've been looking at that there saloon the past week. Still not quite sure how I feel about it. -For one, can't wrap my brain around convertibles. (Flipping a car'll do that to you) -Two, all that hearing "86" makes me think of is an AE86. -Different, in every way. -Three, very BReeZy. Very, BReeZy. Four, who knows what contractual partnerships have been made between Subaru and Toyota? The day a WRX is badged by Toyota'll be the death of me. In my opinion though, the WRX lost touch in '08. '02 Bugeyes - Forever in my heart.
October 31, 201312 yr The BRZ/86 platform as it is currently cannot use AWD so there is no need to worry about a Toyota badged WRX. Subaru is also unlikely to 'give' Toyota its flagship, 'hero' model. Also, while Subaru is on a sales 'wave' I doubt they will care what Toyota wants! After all, Toyota's shares are in Fuji Heavy Industries not Subaru.
November 11, 201312 yr As a committed sedan owner, I don't think a sedan version of the BRZ "platform" would appeal to me. Convertable BRZ-definitely.

January 6, 201412 yr Yeah I would love to see a rag top BRZ' but all hopes of there were dashed a few weeks ago when the president of Subaru, basically said....not in a million years! I was bummed...
