Toyota 86
The current generation of the 86 coupe is eight years old and all signs point to a second generation coming in 2021 (likely as a 2022 model). In the meantime, the 86 continues to offer excellent handling thanks to a perfect 50-50 weight distribution. The six-speed manual gearbox gives you access to the full 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque, while the six-speed automatic takes five horsepower and five pound-feet out of the equation.
