Keep in mind that there are also financial problems.

Don't shoot!!! I'm only the messenger.
Is this actually confirmed to be built in Japan? With regards to Toyota, don't they have a big plant in the UK (Derby)? Im not sure that they are expecting such high volumes that the FT86 would be much affected by this even if its built in Japan. *Especially as theres no exact production date thats been committed to!
