have any of you guys noticed that Motor Trend mentions the FT86Club web page for reference in this matter?

We have seen the Toyota FT-86 in concept form at several different auto shows, but we’re still waiting to see the official production version Toyota’s new FT-86 sports coupe. Fortunately, the Toyota fanatics at ft86club managed to find leaked pictures of a Japanese-market brochure showing the new rear-drive Toyota in all its glory.
The brochure actually was sourced from Modellista, a Japanese company closely allied with Toyota that produces tuning and styling products for Toyota cars. So the FT-86 seen in these leaked photos might not be stock, but rather the product of a tuning upgrade.
Still, the overall design looks similar to what we have seen in spy photos and photo shoots of the upcoming FT-86. Approximately the size of an Audi TT or Porsche Cayman, the curvy coupe has bulging fenders, a wide-mouthed front fascia, an aggressive front lip, big dual exhausts, and a squared-off rear that exhibits lots of Subaru styling cues. (No surprise there — the FT-86 is being built in partnership with Subaru, which will sell its version of the coupe as the BRZ.)
The leaked interior photos reveal an instrument cluster that places a large, legible tachometer directly in front of the driver — and with a redline just past 7500 rpm. Heavily bolstered bucket seats, a stubby shifter for the six-speed manual transmission, and neat toggle switches on the center console contribute to a racy appearance.
As to performance, we believe the rear-wheel-drive Toyota FT-86 will use a 2.0-liter boxer engine producing about 200 hp. The Subaru BRZ, however, is expected to be gutsier and produce closer to 300 hp. The BRZ also will debut before the FT-86: Subaru says it will unveil the production version of the BRZ at the Tokyo Motor Show in late November, at which time Toyota will only show (once again) concept version of the FT-86. The FT-86 will be sold in the U.S. as the Scion FR-S, but it’s unclear when it might debut.
Regardless, the FT-86 is shaping up to be the most exciting new Toyota product in years. Head over to ft86club for a sneak peek at the car by way of the leaked brochures.

They follow pretty close line... but they're different (like head). Just think of WRX seats for JP ver, and RS seats for US ver.

those are obviously different. but that spy pic was taken on our shores. in other words, the USDM version has already been seen and from the outside the seats look the same.

Over all looks Good just not feeling the taillights, red interrior and body kit aside from lip lol! Almost at the final count down!! I just hope it lives up to its hype!! Please Toyota hope you've handled it right!!

[ichitaka05]

^Cuz they're not going to make US ver seats just for test type. They used same seats as UK/JP ver

I hope the subie's interior is much different. I'm also not crazy about those gauges and I havent been impressed with subaru gauges as of recently.

[Ryuu0u]

Makes me think twice about waiting a year after launch. I dunno what to do now.

Ditto. I do hope those seats aren't widen because it accommodates large people.

If they made the seats wide like the fit... I'd probably slide around more trying to shift than drive normally. Lol

Edit: OMG THIS GOT STICKIED.
