Hey guys if you have info if the FT-86 concept will be in the LA auto show let me know, I cant find any info if the concept will be displayed I'll go just for this car, take tons of pics, ask the questions the forum members want to ask.

Hm... official website don't have FT86 on the list LA Auto Show.
...but that doesn't mean they're not be there.

looks like the FT-86 wont be displayed in the LA auto show, I PM'ed one club4ag member who goes and take official pics for a magazine to this event every year and asked if the FT-86 will be in the show. he replayed "No Toyota America requested it but Tokyo International Auto Show is just few weeks away and they only have one concept car to show" so i guess will see more info on the Tokyo auto show.

It's all good. Thanks for clearing up.

No FT86 at the LA Auto Show.:( Ferrai, Lamborgini, Bentley, Maybach, Saab, Infinity, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, and a few others weren't there. Chrysler no longer have the neon and the PT Cruiser. There were less cars on display so there was a lot of space between the cars. All the major manufacturers tried to have a green concept car. The industry is showing a lot of weakness in this current market. :(

man bummed. i was planning on going to the la auto show today and didn't even go cuz the ft-86 isn't there. i hope they get a lot of good feedback from the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Isn't the Tokyo Auto Salon a tuner show just like SEMA in the states? I wonder if there will be any TRD related info released at that show?

I don't know why Toyota would skip both the LA Auto show and the NAIAS (Detroit auto show press days 01/11/10 - 01/12/10 public 01/16/10 - 01/24/10) just to show the FT-86 at a relatively small tuner show if they weren't planning something special.:iono:

So it's confirmed that the FT86 won't be at the Detroit show too?? That would be a mistake to skip the first and biggest US auto show of the year.

I'm not surprised at Toyota passing on the Detroit show. Sign o' the times. The Detroit show does not have the clout it used to. Not with the import brands, anyway.

I AM surprised at Toyota not showing off the concept at the LA show, however. I would have bet anything they'd want the car in import lovin' Cali.

New Delhi and not Detroit? :iono: Who knows what they're thinking.

I would totally take a road trip up to Detroit to see it. The show is a few days before my last semester in college.

I haven't heard officially either way. But, if everything 4agze said was true and there is only one concept FT-86 car which will be at the Tokyo Auto Salon, then there is no way that car is also going to be at the Detroit show because the dates of those shows overlap.

4agze 12-18-2009 10:01 PM

a lot of manufacturers are skipping detroit auto show anyways, right now the concept is in new delhi auto show, I dont even think will see this concept in US sores till next years LA autoshow. Just like white comet says "The Detroit show does not have the clout it used to"

That would be a bummper. Next year's LA show is a whole year away. Can't believe Toyota doesn't care to show it live to north americans for that long. It would definitely keep up the buzz and press coverage if they showed it at some US autoshows.
