I too have wondered why the toyota page doesn't mention the 86. Maybe they believe it will reach production readiness quickly enough so there is no reason to make a page. Maybe the production page will be up soon. It could just say "Coming Soon." The new camaro had a well developed page long before the first one was sold.

Agree. FT-86 is like 80% production ready ( exterior).
anyway, Have you guys seen MR-2 hybrid concept by G sport? I think FT-SH probably is next gen MR-2, but the sizes are too different.

What I really wonder is if this whole "unintended acceleration" thing will put the FT86 on hold for the North American market. I'm starting to think Toyota wants/needs to divert more attention and money into bringing back consumer confidence before introducing the production vehicle at least in the NA market.
