I know they are not bringing it over. Lol that is what my post basically said. The Petition is basically a waste of time and getting some people into false hopes. That is in a way hurting as people will get let down.
GT86 numbers were never up even when it was the Scion FRS. The car has been a fail from the get go due to Suburu telling Toyota no we cannot put a 250hp engine with good torque in the car because that would affect WRX sales lol. Maybe not those words but that is the gist of the truth.
It was never meant to be big on Tech it was meant to be a spiritual successor to the Corolla AE86 which alongside the 180sx/240sx S13 was one of the two premier drift cars in the world. Its a brilliant chassis that failed due to it being a joint venture and like I said above the Suburu bad engine choice factor out of fear.
Very much like the U.S. S13 240sx which had a chassis that could handle a 250hp engine easily and came with a 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter turbocharged engines in Japan that put out over 200hp and close to 200ft lbs torque.
Yet the American version had a long stroke low revving 2.4 liter that had 150hp and 145 lbs of tq. Lol
Nissan looked at the failing sales figures of the BRZ/FRS aka GT86 and said screw that we are not taking a chance on the IDX even though on a promotion run of the concept which traveled all over the United States it met with a overwhelming response.
These are all automotive facts.
