Oh, and I forgot to mention.. I'm new here. I live in the Seattle area. I was talking about lightweight RWD cars with a buddy of mine, he mentioned that Toyota had a concept like that, I found this place.. Been stoked for months.

welcome blacknbean! post your thoughts often! For the most part we don't have as many a**holes on here that criticize everything you say, like so many forums out there.

I think the possibilities for this concept to actually come out and meet most expectations just keep growing!

Cool

Hey out there,

writing from germany, cant wait for the ft86, i hope toyota keeps most of the concept details, its really perfect!

I´m more a toyota/japanese fan from the 90s, MR2, NSX, 300ZX, 3000GT... these are such great cars and now there are only ugly family cars I really hope, toyota recognize the fans, so the ft86 will be a huge success!

But the same source did say that this car [the FT-86 itself, I think..] was meant to be a global car.. or something like that. You may not get the AWD Subie, but you'll prolly be getting an RWD Toyota, if any of us are.
Yeah i think i can remember reading that it doesn't fit with subaru's image in Australia. Meh the RWD version will be lighter and a whole lot of fun anyways

Hey everybody. I live in California near the city by the bay. This car is awesome and i think it will be one of the first things I'll buy once i graduate from college. Right now I am working on a corolla SR5 to GTS conversion. If anyone has a nice parts car for sale let me know. =] I hope i can meet some more car freaks through this community.

Hi.

I used to drive a 5th gen Celica (first car). By way of an Impreza, I'm now riding in a 3-series because of RWD and steering feel.

If Toyota keeps this true to the idea, it will find me as one of its customers once again.
