Toyota's 86 receives 2015 updates


Toyota's rear-wheel drive sports coupe, the 86, is now two years old since its debut in the spring of 2012 and it caused an outbreak of enthusiasts harking Toyota's return to sportscar roots and its "fun to drive" spirit.

Yes, this car is now two years old and the 86's been updated for the 2015 model year. For its 2015MY update, the ride comfort and the steering stability has been mildly improved with the use of an updated shock absorber and reduced friction.

There are two new colors available such as Crystal White Pearl and Ice Silver Metallic. The former is an optional extra.

The 2015MY 86 will be sold in all Toyota dealerships across Japan this June and it now starts at 2,056,909 Japanese Yen (estimate $21,000) for the RC entry-level model up to 3,147,709 Japanese Yen (estimate $31,450) for the top-spec GT Limited equipped with a 6-speed auto. They're all added by the recent 8% tax hike in Japan in case you missed it.
