If its confirmed for the 2011 model year wouldnt that mean production will start as early as mid 2010? granted we probably still wont see it till late 2011. But as for the TRD versions im not sure which way id rather see it go, FI or more tune/possibly slightly larger displacement NA. the later being more of true spiritual successor of the AE86

Yeah, it's old news but it's still great to hear. Saving/waiting for the TRD version.

I like the name Toyota Apex, would fit well with the concept of careening around a corner at high speed.

So how long on average (how many years) do you think it will take the aftermarket to really take off? 1 year in 2 years in? I know there will be some stuff pretty quick but they'll have to develop a lot of stuff for this car.. I know it probably won't be more than average for a new car but Im not really sure what average is.

More sales = faster the aftermarket comes online. I'd say 1-3 yrs though, because Toyota probably will do what Hyundai did for the genesis and Honda for the last civic. Farm it out to aftermarket companies before the debut to start development.
