You know.. before all we heard were rumors and all we saw were renderings by various magazines and somehow 2011 was not that bad of a date to release this puppy. Now that there actually IS a working concept I would have to say that I am quite disappointed because late 2011 seems ohh so far away... almost 2 years as if we have that much patience. I would be a lot more comfortable if this went for sale in early summer or late spring of 2010.

I like the looks. I am against the idea of a boxer engine in a toyota, no matter how great a powerplant
it just doesn't seem right.

If it gets us an affordable Toyota sports car - it has my blessing.

Motor Trend has some juicy bits of info on page 2

engine is a Subaru Legacy 2.0L with a re-worked Toyota head.

Exterior Dimensions of
164 in. long, 69 in. wide and 50 in. in height, with a 101-in. wheelbase.
Vs a 6gc liftback
174.2 in. long, 68.9 in. wide and 50.8 in. in height, with a 99.9-in. wheelbase.

With similar dimensions, and similar displacements, It would be safe to say that this should weight about the same as ours.

woww,,,
love the design, however the front needs a little more,,, more,, agressive in my opinion,,
or at least on the sides,, the sides are missing something,, the front reminds me of those ugly
new mazdas... dont you guys think?
but i love that rear design though.

whats with the boxer engine?
cons pros or something... tried to look up info but could not find that much.

if it is in the range $25000, $30000
i would buy it if they change the interior which i dont think its going to stay like that. specially the seats.
i think that would be a reasonable price if they rated at 260+HP.. but we'll have to wait.

About turbo,,, uhm,,, i really hope it comes with one,, but its america, economy sucks, gas price high,,
i think they would have to tweek the engine a lot if they want to add turbo to it. at least in america.
but i have my hopes high for this to happen
well thats my 2 cents,, (it was more like a dollar :lol:

hmmm the na 2.0L ej20 with dohc makes 190hp. With this new toyota head I'm guessing it should make a bit over 200. Remember thats over 100 hp/l on a na engine, which is impressive. Yes this sounds similar to beams but will be lighter due to an aluminum block and hopefully will have some more torque.

According to previous reports this was supposed to be geared to 50 year old clientele . With styling like this... I don't know. I just want to see a all wheel drive gt-4 version like promised but I can not wait 2+ years for it. For time being I am researching evo 9's and evo10's with prospect of buying one sometime in spring or summer.

The all wheel drive version would be a Subaru, as this is a Subaru-Toyota joint venture.

I don't see how on earth this is geared towards 50 year old clientele - that report sounds bogus.

I beg to God that they release the car just like that without changing much. Cars after 2003 slowed down on the modern look. They all look outdated. I was wondering when someone was going to make a futuristic looking car.

well the previous sketch showed a pontiac solstice look alike and just about every online publication has reported that they were planning a horsepower drop to 160kw.
If this indeed came as awd this would be a very sexy car to own.

Everyone keeps complaining about the interior of this car.. This car will be on display at the Tokyo Auto Show. They kinda have to do something outrageous with it. I have no doubts that the interior will bear little semblance to this when the production model comes out. I'm guessing that the car will be aimed at the Civic Si as it's main competitor, although I think there should be a base model aimed at the Si and an upscale AWD turbo model aimed at the 6 cylinder Camaros. In my honest opinion, the FT-86 looks worlds better than the new Camaros do. But regardless of whether the price is at 20k like it's supposed to be or if it reaches 30k, I'd still like to have one. Also, just a guess, but if they are 20k, then I think we'll see them all over the place, like the Scion tC. And I hope to God this car can maintain a little dignity, and not be seen 500 times a day like the tC.

Anyone else catching a Cadillac vibe looking at the front of it?

And a Subaru boxer engine? Comon... how about letting Yamaha put something together for it?

But, if it means Toyota will finally release something interesting, I won't argue too much.

i don't know about you guys but i am hoping that this will come at a fairly high price tag. why? because for the same reason that richee3 stated. i don't want this to be a car that i'll see everyday. i want it to be one of those cars that i'll notice from miles away and yell "look at ft-86!!" the same way i do for 6th gens.. but i'm sure Toyota is more inclined to sales and trying to make it affordable for the younger target market. if this does well, maybe cars like the LF-A will be put to production..

isnt it why they created the scion brand, for the younger target market.
THey would be really stupid if they put a really low tag price on it..
hope it doesnt happens

um... I personally hope that they put a really low price tag on it. That way it's cheaper for me when I go to buy one. Who cares if there are about a bazillion of them on the roads, that just means that there's more replacable parts available and quite possibly larger aftermarket support. You don't see Civic guys crying because they're cheap and all over the place, do you?

who says they'll release it under toyota tag,

Toyota has invested a lot of money lately making the scion known in the younger corwd, as well as driftin world, it seems to be just the right move to release a scion that can actually drift from factory after they have spent all the money on building tCs for drifting advertisement.

I would love to see this car with a Toyota emblem release in US, but I think it'll be a Scion, and I'll have to buy toyota emblems from Japan for it lol.

That video just sold me on the body; if they change up the taillights a little I'm completely for it pending horsepower/weight numbers.

I want a great blue color option.

I'd like to see an interior like the last supra, wrapping the driver with the consoles, and with all the consoles angled towards the driver.

I also hope they'll eventually do a more agressive looking version with a drop top (aka tin top or twin top) and 4-wheel drive.

I would love T-tops or a targa top. but I'd look for a 4WD version to possibly come from Subaru.
