I think we can see many 86 and BRZ at next year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, and the US will see a lot at SEMA this fall. (http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/sstp_1209_scion_fr_s_in_usa/)<p>
Most of Japanese car magazines talk about Toyota 86 (Hachi-Roku, Scion FR-S in USA). The magazines talk about the difference between 86 and Subaru BRZ; 86 has different bumper, headlights, tachometer, seats, shift knob and suspension. 86’s suspension setup is softer front, harder rear; BRZ’s suspension is harder front with softer rear. So many pro race drivers have driven both and they said it is hard to feel suspension difference. I’m not sure if Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ US-spec will have same suspension as JDM-specâ€"Japanese road condition is different from America’s. Basically, 86 and BRZ is mostly same car. In Japan, we can buy different grades of both car: 86 RC and BRZ RAâ€"they are for motorsport and are around 2,000,000Y (about $25K USD). The cars have no air conditioner, aluminum wheels and audio equipment; 86 RC has unpainted black bumper. Some tuning shops bought these and built demo race cars; they don’t care about the exterior because they will change or remove the parts.</p> a
