It would be nice if this was going to be put into production, supposedly it will be, Toyota should go back to using their own engine instead of Subaru's Boxer. They know how to make good fun cars, they are too conservative now.

this was the concept.. the production model has also been released. so it will be here in another year or so. as far as the engine, while i dislike engine swapping between brands, the joint development will lead to an economy of scale making it much more reasonable to develop and build, and thereby making it more cost effective, so they can sell it to us at a reasonable price.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
Appearance wise the concept was the FT-HS.
yeah... sorry. i got confused for a sec. i was thinking this was the FT-HS, and the geneva car (FT-86) was different. but this is a more production ready than the HS was.

I wonder if they are going to keep the name FT-86 the FT in toyota concepts means Future Toyota, if they change the name I really hope it doesn't get some directly translated one. Just imagine watching a tv ad and you hear, "It's the return of rear wheel drive... cower in fear as the new Toyota Happy Sporty is released in America!". Come on Toyota already did it to the UK with the Urban Cruiser XD
Toyota will have to change their bumper design to meet American crash safety standard crap -___-

I doubt it'll be called FT-86. Maybe they'll rescue on of their storic names like Sprinter Trueno or Celica. In any case, quite a car to look forward to.

I think it would be Levin, Toyota has used that name more recently than Trueno. There is always a possibility it will be marketed as a Corolla. There is a void left in the Corolla lineup after the sport versions got killed off. IDK about other countries but in America if you want a new hot Corolla you have to settle with the XRS.

Corolla has all but disappeared from most European markets. It's now only the saloon version of the C-segment car. The main model is the Auris.

This looks much more promising than the CR-Z which I found to be a huge disappointment. I like that it will have a Subaru boxer, because at least that engine has some performance pedigree as opposed to throwing in some hybrid engine or something. I look forward to a proper fun little cheap sports car from Toyota.
Subie has released pictures of their version, which I think looks much better.
Apparently the Subaru will be altered fairly-drastically for production, though.
