I think we can assume that COVID is the reason that didnt happen, and Toyota not yet having the chance to do that big event is probably why journalists didnt drive it at the BRZ event and are still yet to. Toyota is saving that for themselves. Japans covid stuff is in the tail now, so perhaps another 2 months or so? |

At this point in time any salesperson/dealership that says that the 86 isn't coming is completely as accurate as all the internet rumours that says it is. In fact the dealerships that respond "we just don't know" are the only people that are 100% correct right now.
Speculation and clickbait articles are not confirmation so it is all in what you want to believe until some real facts come out. Dealerships and salespeople would be foolish to rely on the internet rumour mill when selling cars since it is wrong about 90% of the time. The "enthusiasts" that follow things so closely just seem to manage to forget all the bad info and point in joy screaming "see they were right" when the rare real info comes out.

And the 86 is a very low volume seller compared to something like the Tundra. The 86 always sort of gets pushed to the back of the line. I’m really excited for the 2nd gen though, and I hope it sells very well out of the gate. It could convince Toyota and Subaru to make some special editions. Like a real STI version.

My guess is that the camo wrap is secured on those sharp corners near the headlights/front hood crease/ front bumper corners. The spindle grill similarity is impossible to unsee now.

Actually it's Toyota doing all the trolling. Because they hop on this forum once in a while to laugh their asses off at all the trolls who make a claim for every little bit of speculation that lands on the internet. "Lets put a Lexus style grille cover and see what happens, LOL!"
