My god. There's a delay because there's a delay. There isn't a conspiracy behind everything. To Toyota, this is just another car. If the Camry was delayed, it wouldn't be because suddenly they had the urge to add cupholders or better fuel economy to make their consumers happier.

It'll utilize the first ever reverse drive engineering where you can rotate the cabin 180 degrees and switch between RWD and FWD to best suit the road conditions.

It's only delayed on our schedule not Toyotas.

I heard that the delay is because they have retooled the GR86 as a kind of hybrid with a small battery to keep weight down.

This was a leak to comfort the fanboys here. Yes I am serious. Why? Great PR! Plus, chip shortage and covid...why not do a little delay. Yes, it was planned partially. They probably planned the delay last fall and I guarantee it is to make modify front fasica and headlights to closer align with Supra just like a few photoshops. Lil bump in power and suspension tuning and we are golden...all the while it makes them look like they care and listened to their customers.

So how are they bumping the power? Ignoring emissions? Get real. This will be springs and cosmetics. Again. |

Last I heard, Toyota wanted to give the car a large-scale release event, something that can't be done with CoVid still around. So they were giving themselves a bit of time until the whole things starts to blow over (which certainly sounded optimistic).
As everybody else says, there's a delay because there is one, but a last-minute engineering change seems highly unlikely, unless we're talking about veeery small suspension tuning stuff, that would likely have been planned for a long time. |
