Toyota have made error with this car! Every month since the release of the car. Rumors from Toyota, journalist... have sayed that the next 86 could be with a KERS engine, a 2.5l engine, with new intake and exhaust to reach 250 ps. And more... Cabriolet, Sedan.
After that here in Europe we wait for the new version.
Thanks for the update.
We often forget that in North America, car ownership is a much more affordable proposition than elsewhere.

Especially if "elsewhere" is hobbled by various eco fees/green taxes (and I suspect) tariffs/import duties (Europe is just as, if not more, protective of their own industries as any other region in the world).
