Yeah... I highly doubt that's gonna come out.
As for spec, they had good spec so I don't see anything bad. I always enjoy Toyota's V6/i6 engines. If they came out w FT-HS Concept, a lot of ppl think it's next gen Supra.

That is some sweet sounding 4's ! Would have had no equal in the automotive world for that combination of price, acceleration, and fuel mileage.

Alas... not to be.
I'm quite happy Toyota is coming out with a car I can afford shortly after I graduate from college.

Instead of a car I wouldn't have the pleasure of driving off the lot brand spankin' new, unless it was a huge success and was around for 10+ years.

Be nice to have both, obviously.

The FT-HS has a very trick roof. I'd like to see it come out, but I think that it has morphed into a very different (engineering-wise) FT-86.

'Course it would be awesome to see both of em come out. It is allegedly built on the next gen IS architecture.
