Hi guys. Sorry i havent posted anything new up today - i've been to Toyota MegaWeb - Which was awesome!
Walked there and back though which was a big mistake... but did get lots of good holiday photos of Tokyo.
Anyway back to the car.
On Wednesday i will be sure to take many many pictures both inside, outside, underneath and under the bonnet for you. So you have a good idea of what the car is like close up.
Also i wanted to say that my translator is awesome and she didnt pass details on to me. All the details were said to me by people working for Toyota.
Just to confirm, the Toyota 86/GT86 is coming in April for all markets. I cant comment on whether or not this includes Scion/Subaru as the exact words i was given were "Toyota will release the 86 worldwide in April". To which i asked "At the same time?" and he confirmed "Yes, at the same time".
He went on to say "The car will be a very very small production. 1000 units per year. Hand made". Again, he is constantly refering to the Toyota 86/GT86, so this may or may not include cars for Scion/Subaru.
Gearbox wise, he told me it shares the platform with the "LF-A" 100%, not IS-F. BUT i will ask him about this in detail at the show in Wednesday as well as confirm the information on how many units per year and the details on "hand made".
I can tell a lot of people arent happy with this information. But like i said, i will ask again and confirm this info. But for all those who dont believe it... well sorry... i dont care...
Im on holiday and im not a reporter but i will try my best to get as much information (and brochures) from the motorshow. There are also 3 videos being uploaded now as we speak, so check my photobucket page! (slow hotel internet) :happy0180:
