Maybe you can just use the stock 1g TC wheels since they look better and are the same size ha

Not so much the dislike the wheels.. More dislike the wheels on that car.. maybe more about that fender gap that makes them look small.

Overall the car looks okay. I'm not quite feeling the large single center grille on the front. Maybe because I'm too use to seeing the top and bottom centter grilles on our tC's. The interior on the other hand is freakin' awesome. With all the options that come standard with the car, it seems like it will definetly cost between 20 and 30k.

Damn, was kind of liking the LED DRL with the turn signal integrated into the headlight and the fog light solo on bottom. It looks like an 86 headlight would be a potential swap

And is it just me or does the back seat not even look like a seat. The bottom looks comfy but the seat back looks like a wall.

This car has to be modded to look good cause it looks horrible in stock. Dark colors is the way to go with it as well, cause in a lighter color it looks like ____. I'll stay with my G1 tC thank you

You'd have to get a BRZ front end to get the integrated signals.

That's right, too many models I got the 86 confused with the BRZ

I'll stick with the Scion if they offer it in AWD. Or is this a BRZ option only?

From what I've read there won't be an AWD variant.

no AWD and no factory turbo/supercharger.

i didn't like the GT-86 LED headlights anyway, the good ones with the LED running lights went to subaru. and I definately don't need dual zone automatic climate controls, lol.

Gah. So much for owning one of these in upstate NY then. I guess I'll go with a WRX then. We just get too much snow up here. Snow tires help but I would love to upgrade to AWD and some more power. This is one sexy car though I'll give it that.
