86 GT...

Very nice - and sounds almost practical - but I guess its price in Thailand like so many will make it a pipe dream unfortunately

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Base version is 2.56M, top model is 2.74M - no matter which way you look at it, too much for something with a Toyota badge on it. You want at least some badge prestige when dumping $90K into a car

Great article, I wouldn't have known the Scion was the Toyota 86, thanks for posting. As an aside, it should be noted that all cars are more reasonably priced in the US; a Chevrolet Camaro starts from under $24,000 by way of comparison. Back on topic,the 86 would cost less to service and run in Thailand than the Porsche and you're right, it could probably be modified to look awesome.
