What bothers me the most about the production car is why Toyota decided to round off the headlights when the 3 concepts before it all had a sharper cutoff.
The rounded lights disrupt the flow of that sweeping character line Such a simple design change too. Toyota should have done this (middle image): I even threw in the LED strip light from FT86 Concept I for added measure in the far right image. Sigh...If only...

Not long now.... Sold the ute a week ago so i will be trying to organize a pre order with the Toyota dealership as soon as they know what the FT-86 is..... Its crazy here in Western Australia that the dealerships still dont know a thing about the car...
I will probably force myself to wait and see the Subaru version and specs sheet to compare.. My only hope is they both get released within a month or so of each other... |

I have to agree that I like the original better. However, I am still wondering about the missing LEDs and what's the deal with that. I guess we won't have to wait much longer to find out.
