Well looks like Tada-san has answer few of em back on Monday night

Reference: MotoP's FB

Words straight from Tada-san, at personal request and wish of Akio Toyoda himself!

This in response to "What changes would you have made to the FT86 if you had a choice on this..."

Response: "Nothing at the time, as it wasn't going to be put on the market until we were completely 100% satisfied, and unlike other products, this one had no deadline for launch aside from when it was good and ready"

How involved was the President of Toyota on this FT86 (Team86 Project?)

"Akio Toyoda to this day, still frequents our testing facilities to give his inputs, requests, and hours, reminding us each time, that this is his most important car despite the volume or finances. It is the passion of creating sports cars properly, and is one that needs a different approach and focus than simply volume"

Why can't the BRZ/86/FRS be built faster to fulfill the great accolades and demands for them like other Toyota cars?

"We do not open additional production facilities for now, as this car requires about 20% more skilled labor to assemble by our intentional design to be truly a sports car, and to do this properly, we can't rush them and crank them out like other Toyota cars. So we would rather have you wait than to have it below our standards set for this particular automobile"
