    Wtf? Toyota GT86 ad banned

    Wicked hooliganism?

    Incitement to fang?

    Really?

    Alright. The full monty might be a tad disrespectful of authority.

    But: 1783 likes, 75 dislikes. Sorta relevant innit?

    Don't we live in a fucked up world. A minority, in this case 2 people, complain and something gets pulled/banned. Unfortunately it's no different here having dealt with the BSA. Only good thing in our case is they have no ability to make you do anything

    Sort of. Mr Toyota recognised that his cars were seen as boring. Bloody reliable and very acomplished, but boring.

    So, he had a really really inspiring chat with his engineers and, having recently purchased majority shares in Fuji Heavy Industries, he tapped Mr Subaru on the shoulder and organised a brand new boxer mill for the new project.

    It's available from Toyota in several different flavours, and from Subaru in two. The bro-in-law has one, it's a bloody hoot.

    For some reason i prefer the look of the BRZ, i saw a TRD GT86 on the way to work this morning, not too bad looking but the big wing was a horrendous.

    Car mag pen-jockeys are all saying it's a well-balance piece of kit.

    Not over-powered but handles well enough to bring out the hoon in you. (If you were a well heeled hoon)

    I nearly ran one over head on in the truck the other day cause it lacked the grunt to perform an overtaking manouvre a car like that should have no issue with. The driver looked scared shitless
    It needs a turbo.

    RRP in Aus is just $30k. As usual that translates into $NZ at well over the exchange rate, still about NZ$40k

    Interesting thing for me was the press release statement to the effect that it will be naturally asperated. At least for the first 2 years.

    What a POS.

    Looks like it was designed by Ferrari 30 years ago.
