This is literally the car you always wanted

Just put a decent engine in a pinto

if you released a sub 15k turbo RWD car there would be thousands of dead teenagers every grad season when it comes time for stupid boomers to buy their kids a new car as a present

Looks kinda dorky

At least in GT Sport its represented as a better handling car than the ND Miata, but that might be because its pre-production

Looks like a classic racing car with the huge grill.

the 3ur is old and heavy

> isn't 4x4
> unibody construction
> no roof rack

lame

But it's gonna be slow and it's ugly.

piss off falcunt

we coming for u

>never gonna come to america
>never gonna be anywhere near 15k if it does
I'm 100% certain the US will never see this car which fucking sucks. We stopped getting nice things and now we just get the garbage scraps

This think is as likely to be sold in the US as the S1000

>We stopped getting nice things and now we just get the garbage scraps
USA gets what the market wants
unfortunately the us is filled with boomers and soccer mom retards who want shiny SUVs or electric turds

>10 years ago the OP pic was a gt86/frs

Looking for a Subaru?

i think its charming, a sports car that doesnt take itself seriously like the NA Miata, at least visually.

>sub 15k starting
Dream on, this is 20k minimum. A good chassis isn't cheap.

I know thats what fucking sucks is that there are enthusiasts here but there are more fat pieces of shit and bloated soccer mom's who only want the biggest fucking four wheeled monster they can get their hands on, so the rest of us have to pray to the gods above just to get a simple fucking rwd roadster and hatch. Fun car enthusiasts are fucking doomed here. I hate this country

>Car enthusiasts only like asthmatic small shitboxes

Wow

this is a corolla 4pot, not a ultra high compression boxer

specifically aimed to be cheaper than the 86/BRZ

i'm in the market for an NA but if this came out I would actually buy one; for the price of most used meme cars, you could get a car with everything an enthusiast dreams of, plus airbags and a warranty?

My question for Veeky Forums is this: Do you drive a meme/fun car? How much has it cost you? How close is it to 15k?

The only bitching I could imagine is "I want 4 seats", then buy a fucking BRZ

ultimately, sports cars are a rounding error for companies like Toyota

word of mouth is king, dealers don't know jack shit about anything we would want to buy, and e-rep starts in shitholes like Veeky Forums

talk about it
youtube.com/watch?v=MM2JpJGoiv4

Dude this is a 130hp piece of shit, stop acting like it's some great car. This would've been cool 30 years ago.

>My question for Veeky Forums is this: Do you drive a meme/fun car? How much has it cost you? How close is it to 15k?
I drive an 86 and it's cost me about as much. I'd buy the SFR in a heartbeat, because it's as close to perfection I can get in a new car with warranty and spare parts galore.

cool video but brah.
>e-rep starts in shitholes like Veeky Forums
>basically beg for Giuletta
>FCA says no, theres no market
>Honda S660!
>No there's no market
>Focus RS
>here you can have this overpriced trash that we are going to cancel in one year anyway
Dude us the Ameritards will never get anything that resembles any type of fun it was a fucking miracle we got the 86/BRZ twins and even that might be getting the plugged pulled. Like i said before this country is doomed to never experience fun again

When I'm running the ethnostate, I will make a sub-2400lb RWD hatchback with a manual transmission and popup headlights, and sell it for under $10k new.

...

no you won't.

The SFR is dead. It's done. They haven't brought it to an auto show in a year and have had no updates or new info since 2015. Give up.

>people want new sports cars
>at the same time they only buy used sports cars
Really activates my almonds

Yes I will.

I'll also be replacing thots with genetically engineered catgirls for domestic ownership.

Shit you have my vote

Sounds awful.

Normies buy NEW cars for their kids? I was born into the wrong family

Yeah. Pretty crazy, right? You were born in to the the right family if you got a crappy hand me down or had to buy your own first shitbox or whatever.

Cheap fast cars are for after you learn some humility.

Sour grapes

>do you want cool car?
>heck yea!
>fuck you
thanks toyota

i dont really get people who post before even looking at the OP

theres a link showing a refreshed design from barely a month ago

right? anything old is automatically worse for the average person

My first car was wrecked by a family friend and had a salvage title. I had to fix it and register it before i got to drive it. Put 40k miles on it before i sent it to the junkyard and got a decent econobox

Do people think a nearly year old rendering means anything? That is no where near a new render and has nothing to do with Toyota.

Looks like a Mini Cooper to me.

those headlights...really makes u think

i guess they want a sportscar to test out the TNGA platform

>barely a month ago
>post made January 2017
>SFR wasnt even at the Tokyo auto like it was promised
Shits dead. Toyota didnt even bring the fucking Supra or GTI all they brought was some trashy autonomous cars. The time for fun is forever gone

I drive a 13 Miata, it was just under 13.5, and besides oil changes, it hasn't cost me a thing on top.

>a car can't be fun to drive unless it goes 200mph

>lightweight na rwd not cool
>what is miata

this years Tokyo Auto show was pretty shitty, agreed. if we're ever going to see this car it'll be when they reveal the Supra

this video seems to show an SFR driving autonomously? but they show pics of an AE86?

I doubt they will ever reveal that shit, they probably only keep around "spy" pics to keep up the hype for toyota but really they arent making shit.
Wtf happened at this years auto show why was it such aids
I watched that video too it created more questions, i don't want the SFR to be able to drive itself

It's ugly as fuck

Fun doesn't mean anything, I can have fun with a 80 hp fwd Daihatsu. FFS the AE86 was making 130hp in the 80's.

No one thinks a Miata is cool, your image is literally how most people respond to a Miata.

I would love an SFR. I'd want the fastest possible one, but I would baby the hell out of it. As in not daily and keep in garage, but I'd drive the hell out of it on the weekends.

I hate how Toyota keeps teasing shit and never delivering.

I mean except the 86 I love it too. But they had that hybrid 86 concept I was also drooling over, where the hell is that now?
I want to love Toyota so bad, but they keep making ugly as fuck crossovers and ugly boring sedans.

>why is no one talking about it
not available in normal countries

I love it though. It's nice that gt86 won't be alone anymore in its fun cheap sports segment. For a while i've been wondering if "natural", designed on purpose cheap sports cars will even pull through into the future, or will they die in favor of yaris r wrc, fiesta rs, and other big trunk average joe cars repurposed to deliver more fun. Not like fiesta is bad, hot hatches are super cool, it's just that i haven't heard about many new+cheap sports cars recently.

everyone thinks miata is cool, Veeky Forums is just using it as their contrarian shitpost opinion. every board has this kind of opinion to use, and for Veeky Forums it just happened to be miata. get a miata and run around your place, you'll see how ordinary people react to it.

the GR-HV was always a concept model, a clear tell was the fact appearance, it looked like a body kit for an 86

agreed on the teasing though

>No one thinks a Miata is cool
>best selling roadster ever
utterly incorrect

the only time people react to my mx5 is when its facing the opposite way in traffic cause lol hektic oil on all rounabouts. otherwise its the womens midlife crisis car.

>do you drive a meme/fun car?
Drive a MK7 Golf GTI, it's both.

Cost me $18k used with 15k miles on the clock. Dunno how that is price-wise in the US but where I'm from it was a steal.

It's now at 30k miles and so far it's been an absolute joy with no issues. I had a Scirocco TDI previously which I put around 70k miles on with 0 issues apart from the AC condenser getting punctured by a small rock that must have got picked up by the car in front or something. VW replaced it on goodwill though. I'm not expecting any issues with the GTI either. They get a lot of hate here but American VW's are very different from European VW's I think.

But can it be manual?

No because thats no profitable enough.

already been done, KA24DE

So was the BRZ/86

If it does go into production Veeky Forums will shit all over it, mark my words.

it wont though so dont worry about it

duh, its a 6 spd

Not quite. I told my coworkers I was thinking a out a miata and they called it a girl's car

>sub $15k
holy shit I might actually be able to afford this as a brokefag college student
any chance this thing will be at the Detroit auto show? Or do concept cars never show up there?

more like 0spd
get it?
cause it doesnt exist you looneytoon

we're on a lebanese childrens puppet theater forum

we've moved past caring what other people think, I think. else we'd all buy used Nustangs and call it a day

>50/50 is a meme
>muh v8 landbarge

>sub 15k price tag
that's going to be a really hard sell to the bean counters, because it's going to have to be lacking
>power mirrors
>power windows
>power seats
>any sound system aside from an aux jack, basic ass radio, and a some speakers
>little if any sound insulation, making it hell on the highway

due to all the safety, mpg and design requirements, making something that cheap is really fucking hard and they're hard to sell because normies want all the stuff listed above and car enthusiasts very rarely buy new, even with decent options in their price range, they just buy used stuff

Well I think it's possible if
1) every conceivable cost is spread
and 2) they market the hell out of the driving "purity"
Hell they should get rid of as much carpet as possible to giving the feeling of driving in a stripped out track machine. Plenty of dumbasses with more money than brain cells would lap it up before they realize what they're getting into

>bringing the S-FR to global markets at a starting price under $15,000—and, yes, that potentially could include the United States.
the Lord be praised

>Fun doesn't mean anything
benchracer begone

>remove power everything
>save 100kg
>save money
so wheres the downside? apart from lazy retards being upset

again
>they're hard to sell because normies want all the stuff listed above
the problem is making a business case to make a whole new car which is essentially an economy car without much of the stuff economy car buyers want

>Sour grapes
Hardly. Got the family shitbox for a $1 and promptly proceeded to learn how to take it apart and put it back together. It was a fantastic car to learn on and beat on with friends, learn to drive hard just to keep up with traffic, etc.

15k buys a nice s2000

>new vs used

henlo 1 ticket to ethnostate plz

Nobody's talking about it because if it ever went into production, /pol/ will buy one, paint it green and turn it into "Le Pepe Mobile".

just buy a miata or mr2

what kind of retarded non-sequitur is this

i think hes talking about mustangs

hold on did you say 15k at most?

because fuck. I mean, I'm down with buying the nd miata later in my life being 19 now but shit if this is 15k then its an absolute steal

ugly

>best selling roadster ever
false

Not quite related, but I need to ask. Mazda made the dorito meme engine, but it offered no real differences when introduced and they put it in everything, including a truck. The REPU is the first foray of the rotary in the states, so could you argue that the RXes use "truck engines"?

so yeah basically no knowledge car guy but i cant shake how much im digging this

xD activates my almonds

>do you want a cool car
>yeah dude
>how much would you pay for it?
>5k on the used market lmao
>okay bye

>do you want cool car?
>heck yea!
>here you go, gt86
>b-but it has no turbo and no 2jz/4age and it's not inline engine and it costs more than a dollar and performs badly in benchracing and and and

good thing gt86 seems to be successful, they wouldn't even think about releasing even more extreme (two seats, small, less practical overall) s-fr otherwise. i still hope for the bright future where i drive s-fr, but i'll surely get gt86 otherwise.

imagine particiapting casual s-fr sunday cups

>imagine particiapting casual s-fr sunday cups
pic unrelated of course, since that would be endlessly amazing. more like this

except i have no friends so no fun sfr cups

hello yes please sir but can i have the hatchback version so my doggo can chillout in the back

It looks like a girl accessoire.

Now that the TT and Miata look edgy and more aggressive everyone will laugh at you for driving the new faggot mobile.

fuck, I'd totally grab one for $15k, even with that tiny engine
but retarded dealer markups would probably ruin it
