I doubt it too. Especially after the earthquake. All the orders they will have to catch up on. Shortages of parts etc...

Not really, the car hasnt started production which means they can still start it on time without major delays.

if they announce it for scion at NY i expect some hard specs

You guys do know that the Tokyo Motor show has been canceled for this year right?

Where did you hear this? All my information says that they are still right on track for a December show.

Archer256 · 03-23-2011, 02:00 AM

yeah why would it be cancelled? It's only northern Japan that is in a state of emergency go to okinawa,a kyoto, etc. and things are business as usual. Even then the reactor will hopefully be controlled worst case they entomb them.

I lol'd

So true.

However I will say this about Best Car; they were the first magazine to blow up the 'rumor' of an AE86 spiritual successor (at least that I remember, this was back like...2007?). A few years later, hey, they were actually right on it.

Maybe for Japan & Europe, but the NA version/Scion probably won't come out until late 2012. I'm guessing it will come a year later to NA.

xantonin · 03-24-2011, 01:14 AM

The real question is when the turbo models will come out....

You have a good point. I think Japan gonna have first release... but I don't think it's gonna take yr to get to US. IF they show the final ver at TAS and release at Jan/Feb in Japan, I could see it coming to US mid of summer or start of fall

It will take a lot of time to screw this car for the US market like they always do.
