The limited Hakone Edition Toyota 86 doesn't add any more power to the equation, but it does add bronze wheels, exclusive green exterior paint, and a tan and black interior. Does the 86 actually need anything more to make it capable on track? Presented by CRC Industries.

I saw one yesterday. The color is nice in person.

The Hakone is not a Japan only model?
Dangit, if Toyota was not dangling the Corolla Gazoo over my head, I'd be all over that. I'm kind of in the market for a new car and the frisbee ticks a lot of buttons. (None of them SENSIBLE buttons, but they are buttons nonetheless)

The Corolla is a warmed up FWD economy car. The 86 is RWD driving enjoyment. Drive one, let the tail hang out.
I went from a Cobalt SS turbo with a tune to my FR-S. The Cobalt was massively faster but I enjoy driving the FR-S much more.

Loved this review. Great in depth comparison with the DSG GTI as well

Then add in the color on this one. Green with bronze? Sign me up.
