How to have fun on a smaller budget.
Following the reveal of the newly-named 2022 Toyota GR 86, we ve now seen both halves of the highly-anticipated Toyota-Subaru follow-up partnership. These two great Japanese automakers previously worked together on two sports cars that would later be nicknamed the Toyobaru twins. Along with the 2022 Subaru BRZ, the GR 86 enters its second generation with new styling, an improved interior, and most importantly, more power under the hood.
Both models utilize a new 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder engine producing 231 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque in the Toyota and 228 hp with the same torque in the Subaru. These are notable improvements over the outgoing models, but still less than many available used sports cars. Toyota hasn t announced GR 86 pricing yet but the BRZ keeps the same pricing as last year s model, $28,845. That s affordable by new car standards, but we ve come up with seven cheaper alternatives from the used market.
