Choices, options and change keep niche vehicles alive. That’s the point of the article. They gotta do something to keep it fresh

I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who had a violent reaction to the comments on that story.

Those cars will be really slow when nobody buys them

it may not need to be a bench racer, but sales are dropping, and clearly what they are doing is not helping. YEA ANOTHER 5 HP AND EVEN TIGHTER SUSPENSION!!! guys? GUYS?

I’m kind of surprised they haven’t taken the roof off and undercut the current Miata/Fiata. Assuming prices wouldn’t raise too much, that would be a decent way to attract a wider base without worrying about cannibalizing sales from the wrx...

I thought these were just supposed to be little cars to have fun in. You can only go so fast on the main road, unless you want points on your license.

I don’t have a problem with the article. It’s just the people going, “Toyota screwed up not making it faster the first time!”

I saw that, didn’t know it was related to this lol. I think before you make an account there should be a question, “Is the only you enjoy about cars hitting the gas and going fast in a straight line?” and if they answer yes; They’re shadow banned from all articles that aren’t about the Hellcat.

I didn’t really have a problem with the article itself. I’m more frustrated with the people who think the it should’ve been faster from the beginning.

I see it the same way people complained about the fj cruiser “should have been a 2 door!” “Should have been soft top!” “Should have been solid axles!” When the truth is that it just needed to be something other than stale...and now is gone. You gotta mix it up

I don’t get why people say the Toyobarus have too little power. If I can have a hoot with 190hp in an 1800kg car, how can 200hp in a 1300kg car not be fun enough? I mean I’ve never driven one but still...

I know. There was one comment, I’m 90% sure he was trolling, that went. “I just want it to beat a Camery out of the hole. I don’t care how it handles.”

SO MUCH ANGER!

Honestly. We live in a period where cars have ridiculously cheap power, but all people do is bitch about the few cars that have two doors but aren’t muscle cars. And at 6.4 second for 0-60, it’s not like they’re even slow.

Wow, my Integra’s 0-60 is over 7 seconds and I’d say it’s quick lol.

Here’s the thing. There’s no statistics on the crib sheets for chassis balance or handling feel. There is for zero to sixty times horsepower and price. So when Joe Average is searching for his new RWD Coupe he sees a slow expensive Japanese coupe.

To a point, but I think Toyota makes it’s purpose obvious enough. Here’s the first two paragraphs about it on their website.

“A masterfully engineered, lightweight body and rear-wheel drive chassis help you extract every ounce of performance.”

“86’s advanced chassis has been engineered to optimize the center of gravity, plus front and rear weight balance, for optimal performance.”

Yeah, but they also refer to the Corolla as a “thrill ride” and they list the CVT option as “driving fun.”
