For the 86 yes

2018-07-24 22:48:56 UTC  

it's the same car

2018-07-24 22:49:03 UTC  

Well yeah.

2018-07-24 22:49:24 UTC  

But why buy the brz if the 86 is the same all the way down to the engine?

2018-07-24 22:49:37 UTC  

because the brz is usually cheaper

2018-07-24 22:49:44 UTC  

Plus a turbo brz might mess with the wrx

2018-07-24 22:50:19 UTC  

at least here, subaru seem to apply builders discount to the car

2018-07-24 22:50:26 UTC  

so it's like 2k cheaper than from toyota

2018-07-24 22:50:33 UTC  

despite being identical aside from aesthetics

2018-07-24 22:52:28 UTC  

Not sure if they do that here. Never considered buying one so i havent looked

2018-07-24 22:52:38 UTC  

If they do, them alright

2018-07-24 22:52:56 UTC  

Toyota still needs to do something if they want to sell theirs tho

2018-07-24 22:53:28 UTC  

toyota don't seem interested in selling them honestly

2018-07-24 22:53:31 UTC  

And if subaru is gonna do tit for tat, they shouldnt use the same strategy. In part because it would encroach on the wrx

2018-07-24 22:53:34 UTC  

True

2018-07-24 22:53:56 UTC  

I dont think toyota is interested in selling anything that isnt a commuter box these days

2018-07-24 22:54:08 UTC  

and the... "supra"

2018-07-24 22:54:08 UTC  

The 86, the supra.

2018-07-24 22:54:23 UTC  

Neither of which they design or build.

2018-07-24 22:55:18 UTC  

The FJ Cruiser was halfhearted af and has no successor

2018-07-24 22:55:33 UTC  

Fuck

2018-07-24 22:55:40 UTC  

Got my companies mixed up lol

2018-07-24 22:55:49 UTC  

Yeah the toyota civic is shit mang

2018-07-24 22:56:08 UTC  

toyota are throwing huge money at the mirai

2018-07-24 22:56:11 UTC  

which...

2018-07-24 22:56:18 UTC  

Niche at best

2018-07-24 22:56:22 UTC  

I guess I prefer to them throwing huge money at lithium cars

2018-07-24 22:56:42 UTC  

Its interesting, but really a dead end fir the near future

2018-07-24 22:57:00 UTC  

toyota seem to be operating the theory that regulation will kill ICE due to emissions

2018-07-24 22:57:07 UTC  

Japanese companies in general seem to have lost their way

2018-07-24 22:57:10 UTC  

and that batteries wont have the storage capacity

2018-07-24 22:57:33 UTC  

Which to me seems like an inability to understand economics

2018-07-24 22:57:47 UTC  

I dunno, I wouldn't bet against them

2018-07-24 22:57:51 UTC  

Even ford is basing their electric program

2018-07-24 22:57:54 UTC  

On the markets

2018-07-24 22:58:22 UTC  

If I were throwing investment elsewhere than pharmaceuticals I'd be pushing money into companies dealing with hydrogen extraction, storage and transport

2018-07-24 22:58:37 UTC  

Its a bet

2018-07-24 22:58:46 UTC  

A safe bet? I dont think so

2018-07-24 22:58:49 UTC  

But who knows

2018-07-24 22:58:53 UTC  

nothing is safe but

2018-07-24 22:59:17 UTC  

I can kinda see that some company with enough investment might shove a huge solar array in some shithole country with lots of sun
