Firstly, thank the man for bringing back the traditional affordable sports car of the 20th century! Toyota is very innovative with their ideas and always leap outside of the box there placed in (compared to other car makers).
1. Has this partnership with Subaru worked out well for Toyota, will you be considering doing future projects with Subaru again (has this been a success)?
2. How do you find the time to travel, develop cool cars and spend time with your family? your always popping up everywhere in different countries.. are you tired from all the traveling etc?
3. Is there anything you can tell the FT86 community that can place us on our toes?

I can answer #2 (even though I'm not Tada-san). How does he have time to spent time with his family? He doesn't/can't! Example: Last 2~3 months, he got 1 day off to get home to get his clothes and that's pretty much it (give or take) & he have being doing this for a long time (since this project). His schedule is ridiculously busy, I myself have no idea HOW he's doing this. He's technically "engineer" and not "presenter", so don't really need to travel much as he should be.
Seriously, he's doing this ridiculous schedule, long traveling, no time w family, and all the events (including this Q&A). When I ask for this Q&A event, one of reply was "みなさんに喜んで頂けるならなんなりとリクエストください。" ("if delight everyone, please request it")
That's why, somewhat grieves me to see some of questions here. Shaving his free time to reaching out to us, and get is "Why this-&-that problem of this car? What you gotta say about this? oh btw, even you replied to this question, I'll return the car either way" If it was me, I'll snap or worse, heart broken. Yes, life isn't always sunny & rainbow, but that doesn't mean you can bring rain & storm... at least there's a proper way to "ask a question".
Anyways, done ranting... better get back to translating for Tada-san and I need to finalize all the questions for Scion USA, so I can email Scion USA tomorrow morning.
