I think this depends on whether or not Toyota decides to go for a niche market or an open market. The FJ Cruiser does not get a lot of advirtisement and is not a heavily featured car. However, it is a very capable car from what I hear and people like it enough to have it be a reflection back on the FJ40.
If the FT-86 becomes the Toyota AE Coupe I'm sure it will hit the right notes if Toyota was going for a niche market like the FJ Cruiser. However I think it has been said too many times that the FT-86 production car is meant to be an exciting mass seller.
In conclusion if it was called the Toyota AE Coupe I would like it and as long as the fans of the AE86 didn't think the production car was an abomination I think they might like it as well.
