Has there been anymore news on the FT-86?

Like the title states, I know we have talked about it on and off on here.

Just curious if we've gotten closer to a release date, specs, etc. A quick use of the Googles seemed to only turn old posts on Toyota or FT-86 message boards.

ask and ye shall receive...or something.

As a Marketing guy, I am curious to see how they position this thing. For Subaru, who always touts the benefits of AWD, it is RWD. And for Toyota, who always touts their reliability, it has a Subaru engine.

If it were me, I wouldn't say a thing and just post a video of someone from Red Bull driving the wheels off the thing. Nuff said.

I hope I misread the CVT part . I have to drive them from time to time and hate them.

Ugh CVT?

Now a DCT like in the new M3? I would take that.

+1 on the CVT - Hate them.

One pic show 3 pedals and a standard 6 spd pattern on the shift knob.

Otherwise, I like it.

I sent the wife a picture of one earlier and said, "If it still looks like this when it's released we are trading in the Speed 3."

Her response was, "OK, I want that car!"

It seems the CVT is for the Impreza concept car.

Based on appearance alone, if Toyota makes this car a reality, Hyundai better have a good redesign of the Genesis coupe in the works NOW.

2700#s and $27,000

It was supposed to be under 2500#s, and UNDER $20,000.

If the pic is accurate it is A** UGLY
