man some haters in this thread, especially the new ***s.

I personally believe from a designers point of view that its a step in the right direction. I like the FT86-II over the FT86-I.

The one thing that im more upset about is how the T&S board made a note that the FT86-I wouldn't meet regulations, so they had to raise and push back the front making the body lines all weird and less sleek but more bubbly.I think they tried their best to compensate.

The market in styling is difficult because you have a small group of enthusiasts globally vs the global general market. If the idea was to market a bold sports car to an age group of 20-35, this design was it.

Performance wise, I think its got everything that it needs to be a contender against miata and genesis. Americans however will always want more power.

From a tuner/enthusiasts point of view...I think Toyota could do better or tone it down.
I like the FT86-I better over FT86-II.

I like it.

No complaints here.

Actually just one. The front looks like it sticks out too much from the wheels. I see this being a problem when people lower the car...

Like i said before, take the rear wing off and the car looks perfect!

I finally figured out what the front end reminds me of...








The Predator!

I can't believe some of you guys are complaining about the various touches around the car. It's all coming out for the production version, luls. After all, this is a $20K car. I'd rather have that low weight turbo boxer 6 speed RWD than a car that looks mature to the automotive enthusiast. It will look like a blur to most people anyway, luls

I was thinking the same thing! Angle aside, that Brit must be tall or that car is a micro machine.


btw, we have those same lights they used in the studio here at work; Arri 650 Plus! Good lights! :happy0180:

Is it me or the FT86 is the most pictured and most anticipated concept of the year. Back in 2008 the nissan GTR was the picture whore concept now FT86 lol

It's hard to say because we are more interested in this car.

I tried asking some friends if they heard about the car but most didn't.

Slight possibility that it might
