FYI, ordering is open. No pricing yet though.

Wait... Am I the only one confused by this?

So you're basically saying "Here's my wallet, give it back when you're done."

That's pretty cool :lol:

No, it just a pre-order, you only pay $500 as a deposit and it will be refundable.
 
I know some subie dealers did this with the wrx/sti before the official order requests opened up. It wasn't an official SOA program to accept pre-orders.
 
Convertible confirmed?

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/01/toyota-lead-developer-confirms-droptop-ft-86/

...a report in AutoBild that Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer of the car, has confirmed that a convertible is coming...

Because Miata?

But how many would actually be used as a sports car? I'd think that most of the sales would be from people that are just gonna cruise around. Even then I don't think its gonna do well in sales, with its sparse interior. :indiff:

Ok, so that answers my question. But why is it that almost every high-performance car (Corvette, Viper, 360 Modena, etc.) gets made into a convertible? There's no real purpose for it. I mean, is one going to get the most performance out of a car if they have a cloth roof?*

Because people like convertibles. And people will pay more for a convertible. And you can charge quite a bit more for a convertible.

Oh and it's a business trying to make a profit. But that was obvious, right?

Why do cars come in yellow and red? Or with different wheel options? Not everyone buys a car because it's track worthy. You think Paris Hilton's LFA has ever seen a track. A better exampl would be my father. He is a car guy who happened to be weathy enough to afford a few exotics. Being a car guy who built up most of his cars as he grew up, and is also a huge Formula 1 fan, you would've expected him to track his cars. But he simply didn't buy his Porsche's just to track them every weekend. He bought them because he loved them and loved driving them. But if the 996 Turbo S cabriolet had been out when he bought his Turbo S, he would've gotten the cabriolet because he likes convertibles too.

You've never driven a convertible I'll assume, so let me explain...

An open top car is just a different, and incredibly enjoyable experience to drive. You have virtually 360 degrees of vision, can clearly hear everything, feel the air move around you, and it all just makes for a great experience.

You say that as if Miatas weren't used by balding mid 40's men for cruising around on weekends.

Oh wait, 90% of them are.

Just like S2000s, Vipers, Boxsters, SLK's and all of them. That's what people buy them for, that's the whole appeal of it, in a way. Top down, music on, and just cruise into the summer night.
 
It would be better if they made cars nobody would buy and went bankrupt. :dunce:👍 Great business sense in this thread and this isn't even a sports car manufacturer like Ferrari.

The thing is, with the BRZ/FRS/86/86 GT is that, unless you get the more Premium trim, you don't have a stereo (unless you tick option box of course).
 
The BRZ comes with navi standard. The scion and toyota will have stereos. Only models that don't have it, are the barebones models(I wouldn't call these base models myself), which are only available in the EU and Japan. Keep in mind, that's for the coupe version. I doubt they'd do the RC model for the roadsters.

Needs two more pistons. Look how much room they had.
