Could be... all I know for sure is that it's gonna be red, like a monkey's ass.

One source says, it will be a Scion. LMAO

well then if thats true, ill just get the subabru version which is supposedly being unveiled at geneva motor show

Dark · 01-15-2011, 01:23 AM

I think it's not production version, but near-production concept.

Calais · 01-15-2011, 01:42 AM

yea but i dont care. at last we are seeing what the other side to the ft86 story is

Dark · 01-15-2011, 02:13 AM

True that. They won't change much from the concept. Maybe a little bit bland, but I don't think that they will make a sport car bland.

I believe so. Toyota said in a statement that Scion's sale is down, but they have enough purchases they want. I doubt they spend millions dollars in R&D for a failed brand.

yes while thats true he meant because we live in Australia where there is no Scion brand so we can only get it as a Toyota, but to be honest idn, i might still not get it as a Toyota if it comes out as a Scion in the USA

isnt the ft 86 the car that drifts through every corner on any road? i also heard u cant drive it in a straight line, i also heard the steering wheel is set on a specific angle and you cant change it.
