The GT86 is surely the natural successor to the S, particularly for those who don't want to run around in an ageing car and who can't wait for any Honda replacement.
Circumstances permitting, it will be top of my shopping list ...

Won't be keeping the S. It's tempting, but in reality I wouldn't use it much and insuring two cars is a PITA. I'll probably see if I can get £3.50 for it on Ebay.

I'd swear that was Letchworth, or do all Toyota dealers look the bleedin' same?

I would consider one of these cars too ... once ready to change from the S2000

It's been a sod of a long time in development, but finally looks like they've got there!
I'd need to drive their demo first, but I'd say that really ought to close any discrepancy with the S2000. Apart from the wonderful mental-revving soundtrack.
Do factor-in that the standard car is very tail-happy and slightly underbraked, before ordering the Rotrex. But I'm sure Mr. Litchfield can help there, too. Thanks to the BRZ, the S2000 has a slightly wider choice on wheel of the correct offset.

There's a few kits around I believe, including one that had both a turbo and supercharger.
My impression is it's slightly faster than the S in normal driving just without the surge at 6000rpm and 9000 limit. It's interesting: it's the man thing of feeling we know what various amounts of horsepower feel like and so 200 "isn't enough", whereas really the S is only faster because you can stay in a lower gear for longer.
And the cash money from my S won't cover a supercharger.
