A modern Toyota 2zz-fe would be fantastic and I would probably prefer it to a boxer. I have nothing against boxers, in fact I like them - personal experience would show they're fuckin indestructible. I just think a high revving sweet inline 4 would be more suitable. Hopefully toyota puts it's own motor in it.
This car has everything to do with an ae86 in my opinion, just because it's built/developed in joint with subaru doesn't mean squat. It's a lightweight, cheap, RWD, well balanced coupe - pretty much the one line that sums up the ae86 back in it's time.
The other thing is that I do not mind 1 bit the venture with Fuji Heavy Industries - they make great chassis and cars. They're the one jap manufacturer I consider to have higher build quality than toyota. They also make ALL their cars in Japan, so it's pretty likely this ae86 will be japanese made.
When this car comes out, if it's true to that theme of the original ae86 I WILL buy one - brand new. If it only comes out with a boxer motor I will still buy one. There is nothing else on the market besides the new hyundai genesis v6 which will compare in price and simplicity. Yes there's the mx5 but that's a softtop, which I'm personally not into.
I actually can't wait for the day I get to drive on of these new gen ae86s - it's going to be a glorious day.

Fuck I hate how new cars are so big (not neccesarily heavy) but just big ass cars. The gaurds/arches are huuuggee. I want a real 86 reincarnation, not just a FR new car. Wouldn't buy one, will stick to new cars and small/wide wheels.

I think it needs bigger side mirrors.
judging by the position of those on the above rendering i think it will be slightly difficult for the driver to use them anyway.remember it is just a 'rendering'.
im excited for the whole deal really.
that doesnt sounds too bad at all
i guess the last car that you had that sort of choice in platform was the r34 skyrine
they should just make a revised ae86, theyd sell squillions of them!
they did that for the s30 in the usa. nissan restored a certain number and sold them as new.
sounds good in theory but wouldnt really be practical
