Scans from the July 2010 issue of New Model Magazine (Mag-X).
I've had this scan for a month but haven't had time to post this (or register for this site).
Unlike Best Car, that tends to have sketchy information at time and made the rumor about the delay, MagX is generally incredibly reliable and a lot more conservative about their reporting on rumors.
MagX states that the car will make its debut in April 2012.
Toyota is planning on releasing a car based on the "
GRMN FR Hot Hatch Concept" that they have been testing, this car will be a RWD Hothatch aimed at enthusiasts and will sell for around ~$16, so for this reason selling the FT86 at the ~$20k mark will likely cannibalize each others sales. For this reason, the car will be closer to low-mid $20k area in price. This will give Toyota a little more flexibility with increasing quality and performance of the vehicle.
For the final design, Toyota will be aiming for a much more "emotional" design language then the conservative designs that they have become known for. There will be a departure fro the AE86 in terms of philosophy, while the AE86 was a hatch based on a Corolla, the FT86 will be a much more bespoke vehicle closer to the 2000GT in form.
