I wonder if TRD technocraft is having any hurt feelings over this?

My guess is that the production car and any production version goodies for it will still wear the TRD badge.

I'm stealing some comments from Club4AG yesterday regarding the new FT-86G for discussion here... I agree with em...

Quote:
wow i dont understand how the FT86 concept seems like the most outrageous and expensive concept ever for an economical/cheap/entry level car???????? everything is big - brakes, wheels, carbon fiber, fender flares. do they think that people are going to pay $20k for the base and $40k for the G sports?
Quote:
looks like Toyota is engineering initial D tax into the new ae86. I'll be satisfied when i see a real concept with no carbon fiber and expensive materials and outrageous wheel sizes
Quote:
One thing that is promising however is just like the TRD/Toyota support for the AE86 the FT86 is getting MAJOR LOVE from Toyota. This seems to show that they've SPENT MAJOR MONEY on it and IT MUST be successful.

All the new technologies that it is unveiling should completely blow all other JDM coupes out the water and put them back on the drawing board.

So the base model will be N/A? G-Sport Turbo?

Great marketing move on Toyota's part.

Even if this were the 'top of the line' sports model of the FT-86, sign me up for the no-BS barebones competition model. THAT's the model I want to see.

I just hope that we dont have buy the G concept to be able to get a turbo. This would almost be unethical business...

As long as there is an option, and that this new turbo model doesn't make them lower the output of the NA version I don't care.

Stripped down, steel wheels, option of both engines WITH lsd and suspension and I think we have a winner!

Not concerned about the badges, but rather Gazoo doing work that TRD usually does.

Or is TRD supposed to concentrate on racing and not road cars?

I can agree with the whole "I don't want the ridiculous carbon fiber and humongous tires" thing.
Gimme the base model with a turbo, 6-speed, and LSD, plus the original concept's styling... I'll be in heaven.
(Especially if the sound system's nice.)

I didn't think TRD did much of anything for their road cars except slap a label on parts, at least in recent years :iono:

I'm not talking about lame ass TRD USA. Hence why I specified TRD Technocraft, aka TRD Japan.
