Road & Track says 2013 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

In the October issue of Road & Track in their article about new cars for 2011 they had this to say about the FT-86

Quote:

While most of us have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the FT-86 rear-drive sports car, reports from Japan say the project has been put on hold until 2013 - design and styling issues were cited as the main reasons for the delay.

I know more reliable sources have said they're on track for late 2011, or sometime in 2012. I just Hope R&T dont know what they're talking about lol.

Dear God, here we go again.

October Magazines are usually composed and printed sometime in August. This is still old, outdated news.

I said it before and I'll say it again, in 2013 this car is irrelevant.

Again, what reports from Japan. Why can't they say where in Japan they got it from? Cuz they it's all came from some blog of some Japanese ppl.

If they wanna convince us, they better say exact place in Japan or etc they got the info from. Whatta crappy writer.

"All those BS online auto news writer SOBs" need to get there stories facts and source straight.

Well it must be true if it's from Japan. As rumors don't exist in Japan.

Sheesh...
