This thread is so far off the deep end it's kinda sad.
Those same Australian outlets have been incredibly inaccurate and in the past quoted various sources as saying a vert was coming then no it is not and a turbo was in the works then no it is not and we are disappointed with sales then no we are happy with sales numbers.

I will believe that there will be a major update when we get an official Toyota news release or reveal. I will believe there will be a second Generation when we get an official Toyota news release or a reveal. I hope both happen but I would not be surprised at all if Toyota once again repeated what they have historically done with sports cars and kill the car off when the initial sales drop off and the production run nears its end which for them is 6 years.

Here is your chance to enlighten me. How much did it cost to develop and produce the FT86 line?
