Meh. A website quoting another website is hardly a reliable source.
Many (most?) of the Toyota multiple gens took some really great cars and turned them into crap. If they are indeed planning a major change for the model it is very probable that the result will not be of much interest to the people that bought it for what it already is. Just hope they don't decide they want to up the production/sales numbers because that would mean building it for the widest possible appeal and will end it as we know it. We have already seen them tame down the suspension (I know some feel it is better but it IS tamed down) and up the quasi luxury components (when the car first came out they made a big deal the steering wheel was bare) so what direction does that point in for a successor?

regardless, it is all relative. perhaps you consider the Celica going from a rwd platform to 4wd and then finally to fwd to be one of the great cars turned into crap but to be fair toyota played their cards as best as they could. we could go on all day with what sort of direction toyota should have taken, but I guess their bank account does the talking. it will be very interesting to see which sort of direction they take the 86. think it will be much like the 1st to 2nd gen mr2, incremental changes without adjusting the whole formula.
