I don't know if anyone else noticed but the seat pattern is the exact same as the front grille of the car. A small detail but a very nice tie-in to further differentiate the FT-86's seats from any other Toyota/Scion.

there is plenty of room for a turbo kit. especially if you put a small battery in there.

so it looks like it's going to be another DBW set up. i wonder if toyota is going to use that same stupid system that applying the brake shuts the TB.

Did anyone else notice how odd the strut bar is? It seems like two that are connected in the mid-rear of the engine bay instead of one that just goes straight across. o.O

Oh I see what you mean now. I thought you meant the red stitching pattern or something. You have a keen eye for details there. I really hope that honey comb like seat design makes it into production. The suede on the other hand I don't really care.

Those have to be heated seat buttons! And the headliner looks sculpted like the roof, perhaps to make more room for a helmet. nice to see the thought that went into this car!

The only gotcha is the strut-bar is missing the 3rd side of the triangle, so there's room for improvement, assuming it's relevant.
It's very cool to see the upholstery pattern mirror the grill work.

That was a good catch by whoever spotted that. Nice touch.
