That would be even worse. The point here is that Toyota and many other car companies today chose to ruin the heritage and tradition of some car brands simply to sell a few thousand more cars.
The FR-S, or Toyota 86, is the spiritual successor to the AE86. It also has ties with the 2000GT and 800. This is a long and proud line of front engine, RWD, sport coupes. For Toyota today, it represents a major shift back to a traditional sports car.
My whole point is to not attach 4 doors, a diesel engine, or a hybrid system to a name that represents such a great history for sports cars. The only reason they are doing this is because a 4 door will sell better than a coupe in today's market. For the people that respect what the Toyota 86 represents, it's shameful.
