Do you think a Toyota 86 (RC) could be imported to the US under the "substantially similar" clause? It's not too different from the BRZ/FRS right?

What's the fucking point?
Ian Stewart
My only guess is Uber base model to strip
Daniel Phillips
Aren't the BRZ and the RC literally the same shit but the paint?
Luis Lopez
soundproofing and other shit too.
basically everything that adds cost but not speed is gone.
and used ones are cheap in nipland
Carter Peterson
So I can feel extremely special with right hand drive.
Jaxon Morgan
The car is slower than a fully loaded Civic Si.

>importing a car that maxes out at 140mph
They're going to be called the 86 in the US in like two months anyway
Levi Murphy
Actually it's going to be "Toyota FRS"
Joshua Sanchez
should have been the celica from day one tbqh
Julian Fisher
Does Toyota state that it is as safe as the USDM model? Therein lies your answer

It doesn't even have a fucking LSD
Lincoln Garcia
No.

>actually wanting to pay more for the 86GT's shitty alloys
Ian Gonzalez
Well if you're replacing them anyway, might as well ship it with cheap wheels
Henry Hernandez
You can, but "The vehicle doesn't come with a limited-slip rear differential". That'd be a MASSIVE deal breaker for me.
Charles Wood
Is that why it ships with a shit engine too?

will be difficult, as you'd need to use all the us-spec parts for safety regulations and then get it approved by the nhtsa by proving it would perform similarly to the us-spec car with either a letter from the manufacturer or crash test data.
Owen Foster
it's not too bad, reliable, willing to be thrashed and good on fuel
Brayden Nguyen
Nah
Brayden Watson
Why don't they kill this whole line and Bring back the Celica
Hunter Morales
It basically is but they named it wrong.
Too obsessed with hachi roku memes.
Hunter Garcia
Because weebs are still scrapping up money to finance them.
Mason Morgan
They're smaller than the stock alloy's and supposedly lighter. Steelies are pretty thin and don't weigh thaaat much. Most shitty alloy aftermarket wheels probably weigh more than a steelie and are probably as flexy. That's why good quality alloy wheels cost A LOT.
90% of the toyobrus I see have aftermarket wheels anyways so stock steelies would make sense.
Juan Martinez
It's optional

You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
Logan Murphy
The RC is the super-stripper model. I'm not sure why OP wants it, but it's not for the name.
Samuel Taylor
Wait, I thought you somehow were comparing it to a Lexus RC. Blows the fucking BRZ out of the water.
Caleb Miller
The only thing this has in common with the Celica is that it can come with a factory rice aero kit.
Hudson Walker
It really is though. HFP suspension kit can be bought for $700.

>too long didn't watch
The Si is faster around a track.
Tyler Taylor
The RC is based on a street legal model, but is marketed wholly to race teams. Why put in a LSD that will just be replaced? It's the same reason it ships with steelies. It's not intended for the consumer market.
Dominic Johnson
Wouldn't it cost roughly the same as a used US spec one after taxes and shipping costs? What's the point other than muh JDM special snowflake?
