YES!!!! Finally day have come that, someone asked this question. This is why, I begged Hachi to not change the forum name!!! Just to see this day.

Anyways, I think, nice members have answered the question, but jic MkI, Mk1.5 & MkII was called FT-86 Concept. This is one of the reasons why FT86SpeedFactory have that name too

Then Toyota pulled their collective heads from their asses and revealed the FT-86 Concept II, which was much better and pretty close to what we eventually got:



Looking at that first concept shows you exactly how close we came to getting just another bland Japanese econobox body design.

That's funny because most of the OG 2009/10 members liked the monkey ass red concept the best.

I'll be honest, I did for one... Back then, this design was fairly unique and totally futuristic looking. Now, we see these designs as hybrids/electrics lol.

I obviously grew to love the Concept II more after its debut.

Yess, in the end MK3 was definitely the selling concept IMO. But we all knew it looked wayyyy too expensive for production...

There are several reasons.
1. It was just a hype. Every gearhead was talking bout it. Had to get in on it... but now, it's not exciting than other cars
2. Didn't meet their wish. It doesn't come with turbo? Goodbye! It's not AWD Turbo car? Goodbye! It has subaru boxer engine & not new 4AG engine? Goodbye!
3. Hate waiting. There were several years of dark age (bout 1~1.5yrs) not getting any solid info vs other car with actual info. Mind as well buy those cars instead of waiting on no solid info, not sure Toyota even making car.
4. IRL. Life get in the way. New baby on the way. Bought the house. Bought new car. Etc
5. Banned. Being idiot & got banned.

These sums up why oldies left
