Um is there any credit to this post here? I saw it and I spilled my coffee all over my desk. I hope it's not some random toned down version >__<!and I hope we still get a Toyota version.

"More intriguingly is word that Scion will bring its own version of the FT-86 to the Big Apple's auto show, although don't expect a production version – this will be yet another concept similar to the version we saw at the Geneva Motor Show, just with new badges and a few stylistic tweaks."

Scion or not, just make the damn thing

s2upid · 03-10-2011, 07:57 PM

fuck me, another concept? FFS toyota just make it already.

cyde01 · 03-10-2011, 07:59 PM

just read it on autoblog as well. i'm surprised that autoblog would post this without sorting a source. to be honest, on another forum that i frequent, a poster who is known to be a toyota employee and a reliable source of info said the ft-86 might be shown with a scion badge and the interior displayed at the new york show. but i didn't want to be accused of spreading bs rumors..

Well then, you can say bye bye to 90% of buyer

put the joke on the side. Not sure that resourse is creditable or not... but I can say this for sure. quarter of the comment here gonna say "WTF Toyota!" and other quarter gonna say "O'well, I gonna change the emblem to Toyota anyways". & quarter gonna say "I'll wait for Subie" and last quarter gonna say "That's BS! That site don't have any credibility!"

Honestly I think I just need a moment to Adjust my thinking because I feel that the culture is dying. The ones that do friday night meets in a parking lot to talk about cars, car clubs that aren't super high end like a Porches club. If this car help revives the culture. That had been utterly destroyed by the dumb kids who would street race and kill people by not taking their cars to a track. If This Scion wakes up Honda,Mazda,and Nissan to bring back affordable 2+2 that is fun to drive.

Then Hell I'll buy one and Be all for it.....

Except...I'm waiting on the Subie XD

VenomRush · 03-10-2011, 08:06 PM

i am going to buy a plane ticket to new york, attend the auto show, walk to the scion area, pull my pants down and release my urine on the scion concept...

.......if this is true

Zaku · 03-10-2011, 08:09 PM

Hmm does anyone else think that the Toyota guys Upstairs might be like "Who care, we just need to release the car. People will buy it no matter what we badge it"

no, because if that was what they were thinkin, why not just put it as a toyota

NESW20 · 03-10-2011, 08:13 PM

i don't believe it. i'll wait for the major auto shows and see what they bring. this speculation is annoying, at best.

matadormi5 · 03-10-2011, 08:56 PM

If this is true, then I can only conclude that Toyota (with Subaru) believe that they must have a concept car for each % of "production readiness"

"Release the 70% production-ready concept! Next the 75% one. Then the 80% one..."
"Sir, why so many concepts?"
"Because people don't care about the real thing--They only care about the concepts, don't you get it man!!!!!"

xantonin · 03-10-2011, 09:00 PM

Lol I love one of the comments from that site:

Enough FT-86 concepts... If anything, this car is porn. We can look at it all the time, and it's always a little different. But we want the real thing!

Riden86 · 03-10-2011, 09:16 PM

How about badge this car as Scion, Toyota, Subaru, Lexus, Yamaha, Daihatsu and Hino?
Every one should happy with their favorite brand name.
