Interview with my local Toyota Dealer

2 Weeks ago, I went to my toyota dealer for asking some news on the 86, the seller repplied that they have a secret meeting at Paris around 8-9 september and adviced me to come back after that.

This is what I did today. He smiled when he saw me coming hehe




Me: Hello, so you went to Paris for your special secret meeting, right ? Do you have some news for me ?

Seller: Yes, I went to Paris last Friday, so I hadn't many news, but the FT 86 is coming out in June 2012 for sales. ( In France )



Me: Did you see something ? Pictures Videos ?

Seller: Yes, It was very difficult, cause at the beginning the President from Toyota France wouldn't let us to see the File regarding to the FT. At least we finally saw it, we must turn off our cell phone and every Video/photo accessories and they show to us some pictures of the Finally version.




Me: OMG ! So tell me, what does it look like ? Is it close to the Concept II design ? What was the colour painting you saw ?

Seller: We hadn't so many time to see it in details ( 3sec per pic), the only things I can tell you is that it was Red painting like a nice sport car, the best color that matches perfectly to the 86, the design is very very close to the concept II model. I don't remember exactly the face but there was nice foglights and the rear got Leds in the Taillights.




Me: Nice ! Any Engine Spec ?

Seller: No News at all


Me: The price range ?

Seller: Don't know but I'm not sure they will sell the cheapiest car, they want to do money, so they'll try to find the good compromise between Service / Performance.


Me: What version will we see at IAA Franckfurt ?

Seller: No Idea



Me: It seems it's Ultra Confidential...

Seller: Yes very hard to get some info they want to keep their baby safe, and they don't focus only on the FT, the new Yaris HSD ( for hybride ) is approching, the Avensis Mark II and the Prius + with new battery Lithium-Ion for better autonomy.



Me: Ok Thanks for the Interview for all the fan of 86 and for me.

Seller: No prob Sir, Come back when you want, bye


I'm personnally going at the IAA on Sunday to see it closely and asking questions to the person in charge of the FT, I'll give you the best Pictures and you'll get a nice vidéo in HD
