that article says "Toyota GT86 is a car that asks why you have to go round a corner at a zillion miles per hour. You just don't..."
AMEN to that! with speed traps, low speed limits, driving 90 around a corner on public roads just isn't a good idea regardless of whether a car can do it. a light, balanced car, like this one, makes driving at even moderate speeds around corners a real joy. you just brake less.

clarkson thinks it's ugly, and in lighter colors i find the raised fender flares a bit on the homely side , but he also thinks it's a great car.
jeremy clarkson for president!

The real statement should be
"Toyota GT86 is a car that begs to go round a corner at a zillion miles per hour. You just don't...slow down"

The meaning of that statement is really obvious. The GT86 can be fun even at low, legal speeds; the other cars need to be pushed well beyond legal limits to be fun, which is not meaningful at all to most people who do not bring their cars to tracks.

Wald International Toyota 86
IS F inspired, eh.
Although the Japanese tuning brand has only released a few teaser shots of the 86 without telling us much more about the package, we can see that the aero kit includes a protruding front apron that covers half the height of the bumper, and matching side skirts with front fender vent parts.
At the back, we find a duck tail-like spoiler that attaches to the 86 boot and a new rear apron with an integral diffuser and a quad-pipe exhaust system.
A set of two-tone alloy wheels and from what we can tell, a lowered sports suspension, finish off the look of the vehicle.
Wald International said that it will release more information including availability, later in the year.

Bought dad a fr-s as a thank you gift for putting me through college. He took the car out for her maiden voyage last night. Like the LF-A owner, we're taking photo requests
