Toyota Gt86
There can't have been many more debated cars launched. The lightweight, rear-drive, flat-four coupes have come in for some stick because of the power they make (or rather, don't), the noise they emit in the process, their sticker price and their plasticky interiors. On the flipside, they've been praised for their back-to-basics approach, sweet handling, great gearboxes and dedication to the front-engined, RWD layout abandoned by so many others.It would be fair to say that sales probably haven't met with expectations, so it's even more pleasing than it would have been to confirm that a second generation of BRZ and GT86 will definitely happen. In a release issued by Toyota detailing the firms' refreshed alliance, it says under section one - 'In pursuit of making ever-better cars beyond that achieved thus far by Toyota and Subaru' - that there will be joint development of the 'next-generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ'. Perhaps not the most thrilling announcement, or the most detailed, but it's good to have the rumours and conjecture of recent months put to rest with something from the manufacturers themselves. Truth told, the statement is a lot more about the progress of the two toward a CASE (Connected, Autonomous/Automated, Shared and Electric) future than in making sports cars, various statements about 'aligning capabilities', 'vehicle electrification technologies' and 'strengthening bonds' peppering the text. However, it also suggests that Toyota and Subaru will continue 'to pursue driving enjoyment in the CASE era and to make ever-better cars beyond what either company has been able to achieve thus far.'
Subaru Brz Forum
We can surely all agree that those are pretty encouraging words.It's too early to tell what that actually means for the next BRZ and GT86, given their development has only just been publicly announced. You would have to hope the focus on driving purity and raw thrills can be retained, perhaps made more desirable to the broader market by slightly plusher interior. It's a tough ask, of course, but the commitment to the cause deserves praise - we can't wait to see what comes next.
Brz Forum For Sale
It would be fair to say that sales probably haven't met with expectationsI've heard this said a lot, but where has this idea come from? They've sold by the bucketload in the US, Japan, and Australia. In the UK, they've outsold the similarly-priced 370Z roughly 3:1 despite the Nissan being launched 3 years earlier - and the 370Z has a lot more power, which suggests many people on the internet claiming the 86/BRZ need more power wouldn't actually buy one even if they had it.At the end of the day, they were never going to sell in vast numbers in the UK because they tick all the boxes of 'things British people don't buy'. We buy German cars, not Japanese ones (and especially not modern Toyotas). Our idea of a performance car is a hot hatch.
We buy an obscene amount of convertibles for a country with a huge amount of rain. In context, UK sales are about where you'd expect for a small Japanese (Toyota) coupe.Anyway, good news that they're making a new one. Let's hope they stick close to the original formula and don't include too much in the way of electrification and automation.
