Team GR86!

I've got my heart set on a 6MT Sapphire Blue BRZ Limited. Taking all my strength to not go down to the dealer tomorrow and preorder one!

I have a WRB 2017 BRZ Limited. I wish I could say Team Subaru for the Gen 2, but I'm going Team Toyota! I love the front end of the GR86 better.

toyota looks just a little better up front...

BRZ

I am the same way. I was in a financial position where I could afford a Supra and went that way. I still love the twins.

Same here I want to get the Toyota version

@@420hansol You've been mentioning markup everywhere but there's no guarantee that there will be markup. You're just making that up.

@@420hansol I did contact my local dealers and they said they had no info about GR 86 and told me to contact them again in October. They said Toyota had not released pricing yet. They did not mention mark up. I live in NM.

@@420hansol I don't know. That seems like a really stupid decision with the new Z coming out too.

No sapphire blue for you. That's what I'm getting!

World Rally Blue for the win!

First color I crossed off, but apparently I’m weird because I like the BRZ bumper much better than the gr86

same, why put all that bullshit when you can have it all on one screen and even give us different modes to cycle through.

it reminds me of the Lexus F sport clusters

Agreed, modern because it's digital but still simple and straightforward

I don’t know at 47 I just don’t want to go all over the place..lol.. my 3rd vw golf r.. I guess will come in 6 months.. 2019 golf r now .. i just want to put the power down.. lol.. not all this tail happy shiznet lol

I just commented that it looks like it's smiling lol

Brz is 😂

ohhh right... for some reason i missed that

Get a life

Same, really looking forward to this one!

Who knew whining and bitching was a career

@@nickr3441 Ah, just starting yours?

Who?

@@nickr3441 A reviewers job is to critique, you know.

@@lukeheffernan yea, like the door shutting? Who gives a fuck

That is true. I actually like the face of the BRZ more than the GR86, but yeah, that stupid bar in the front ruins it.

agreed

Nothing a little aftermarket can’t fix

I wholeheartedly agree!

@@MaddNomad1015 I don't think aftermarket can fix it budget reasonable for "just remove a stupid thing I didn't want".

Love your channel. Can't wait to see your brz build.

@Cruz Ponce low boost and it will be A okay. Had 15 brz at 10psi for approx 45k miles without one issue, next owner beat the piss out of it without issues as well. Really depends on the tuner you have 👀

Thats the most stupid reason

Unfortunately for me, our local toyota dealerships are bad, and the subaru ones are worse.

Damn I wanted the r spec earlier this year. So sad to see them go.

sounds right. that has to be the explanation

They will be super similar. Most people won't even notice anything.

Crazy idea, but not a bad one!

I actually don’t mind the infotainment. Small and centered offering everything you need without being massive. I think this will age well.

I know, I'm torn! I have a WRB 2017 BRZ Limited right now. I like the front end of the GR86 better, but I'd have to give up that gorgeous blue color.

Honestly if you get the 86 it's gotta be in Track bRed.

@@jonathanhughes5806 I too thought the frs front looked better but now I actually changed my mind I think the brz front end looks better and more expensive. Also exterior color is huge on a car the color combos on the frs are terrible. Red color isn't even that nice has no glass not shiny what so ever the wr blue color will be so vibrant and all the pearl in it will be a eye catcher.

Toyota gets exclusive Neptune blue. That is one I need to see in person for sure.

I gotta disagree. I think blue is bleh and plain.

It's a setting, you can turn it on or off. I personally have no idea who would want it on :)

Same i prefer the auto. Because of added features.

I know they meant the other one to recreate the wedge shape and although I like the front, I like the facelift and generally think the rear is finally FIXED. it just never sat right with me. Nothing wrong with the original ae86s imo Bummy isn’t even the right word. More like basic. I’m the type of weirdo that would’ve driven a black pontiac firebird trans am like a villain if I was alive in the 70’s. I’ve always liked doing those wide donuts and sweeping turns on a awd subaru, etc. but their strength has always been on precision handling and grip. Forget rallying, look at tt sti’s. Once you experience it, you’ll know. I appreciate subaru taking it in that direction, instead of encpuraging everyone to bust a drift or get sidewayz or whatever. There’s pros and especially built race cars for that, don’t ruin your nice daily. Those are the cars that end up totalled. I don’t think it was ever just about that even with initial d and motorsports but I’m not trying to ruin anyone’s fun. I love adding sway bars and coilovers, I’d never be against that, that’s also how it is over in japan where these tuner cars come from. But people also drive em off cliffs or should i say side of mountain trying to be cool, so…its the truth. People gotta use their judgement. Like slim profile tires and potholes. It ain’t gonna make it like that on the street for long. Yeah, ferrari has em but you ain’t supposed to daily that either. People will get mad, plug their ears, etc. Hopefully the line of specialty affordable solid rwd toyota coupes as an homage to the 86 stays strong, and that there remains a semblance of purpose. Because while other companies are looking to the future with the pasts eyes this car is looking at the past with the future’s eyes. And directly tweaking what we know to create something still interesting as far as new cars go. We need to be interested. People hate boring tech. My only fear in getting a new car, is probably the combination of boxer and timing chains and how much a nightmare it is for anyone to work on this engine ultimately unless they’re just putting in new ones. You can be putting around town in it and be destroying it or burning oil in it without knowing. They do like to go… people were even putting ea series engines on tiny airplanes. but they had specialty builders, which is my point. out of the factory, its great until something goes wrong and there’s no subaru expert you can trust or find easily. even if you were ready to pay. just forums where when theyre actually active, its pure disarray. most engine parts are supposed to be replaced, and you start getting into aftermarket territory and if you’re not ready you’ll end up with a quick and dirty repair and then the car ends up shattering the engine down the line so you get a new one from the junkyard put it in if youre past warranty and then you never forget to check your oil again, etc lol. The problem isn’t even you, it’s actually chugging oil one day. I wouldn’t even buy a used one at dealership prices much less a new one. I know toyota has their own bank for financing you, but not sure how subaru does for interest rates. I’ve had a few imprezas. At the end of the day you’re made to feel inferior for not having boost or nothing, lol. Bolt-ons can be a lot of fun. I’ve had to do a lot of upkeep, research, new motors, etc. Fun cars though…. I don’t think anything runs forever without maintenance and repairs, and the good thing about a boxer for me is that it was small enough to rebuild in my shed. But always had to track down someone who can bore and hone the block with diamond hone and ultrafine brushes… if you want an sti version, you won’t be able to buy it from subaru; you’ll at least have to go to a performance shop. and thats good, because there’s already too many mustangs going wot down the street and making power for the sake of it just because they could afford the $60,000 package on what everyone knows is essentially a big stupid mustang. get this instead and see your car be compared to a miata in a magazine. or you could have this, and then by the time I get my hands on it it sounds like a lawnmower with a rusty exhaust… Hell if you get one that ‘runs and drives’ on auction, you might still end up with maybe a thrown rod, that you can’t see from out, and 2 dropped valves, and a spun bearing, and the wrong year head gasket for a sti on it, or maybe all of the above lol thats what I got…. one case half has a piston crooked and stuck in it permanently. kicking myself because canbus is stupid and I can’t sti swap anything or go dohc. and I hardly even care; because I have time to read forums on the internet for days and I want to to make MORE POWAH BABY studying harder than a damn witch. and why does the new wrx, and outback and hyundai kona share the same plastic jeep fenders lol idk… look out when you go to a dealership theyll tell you they have no chips and no cars and you’ll be signing the papers like, “which one’s mine” don’t worry sir; it’s on the next super mega freighter out of japan. I would probably buy this, if I needed something reliable and cool and sporty that I could buy at the dealership for relatively cheap fully optioned for the same price as a wrx, this has looks but you wouldn’t regret that wrx either… easier to get inside of too, this is lowww. Or you could get an impreza and turbo it lol. I have all the time in the world to work on my own stuff and usually broke… once you’re paying the note on this, and you forgot to get that underchin spoiler but damn you also need a engine hoist so you can put those rep turbo headers on, ahhh lets go with the lip and double sided tape, hell lets make a youtube video…how does it go, hey its me ya boy…with the carbon fiber aliexpress fenders. hurry up and blow yr engine ahh this has intake noise reproduction in the cab so you can hear it. if you keep an open mind about it, it’s better than any exhaust resonator delete.

I don't like the smiley face on a sports car. If it even is one. The Toyota doesn't have a DRL?

I love the smiley face.. i think it looks cute.. reminds me of cars like the original miata or the dodge neon.

The brz has a huge smile and it looks very happy

@@jordanschellhase2952 id prefer happy over angry to be honest. I'm so tired of seeing so many angry looking cars on the road lol

It actually looks like a samurai mask

You shouldn't have any problem with Toyota bringing back the Supra since this is a collab with another manufacturer

Exactly

@@350z33hr Mark from Savagegeese hit the head on the nail with this The 86 dosen't matter as much, it's a much smaller nameplate and still 100% Japanese. The MK5 on the other hand is a German car with one of the biggest nameplates in the whole JDM scene. Toyota should of taken the route GM took to make the C8 with the Supra. Specially since it's supposed to be the flagship car for the GR brand.

AMEN

You don’t really need Brembo brake, this car is so light !

If you have to ask , go for the gr86 / brz. Better for the long term and is all new ish .

Me too!
