I think the car Toyota initially aimed to market a step below the 86 might have ended up being be the Daihatsu Copen, Japan/overseas market only, with discussion about getting it into other markets (Scion?). Honda has the S660 which looks cool too if it could work here.

If the 86's were flying off the lots they might have have pushed thru with the initial plan.

There's the FT1? Concept at car shows until there's enough indication a sufficient number of people will buy it. So, they have time to get everything right and its probably better not to rush to market anyway.
