Toyota’s FT-86: Now for boring people
20th July 2011
According to a report in Autocar, the FT-86 is being turned into yet another bland Toyota vehicle à la Camry.
The car’s focus is now aimed between 30 and 40 year olds, retains RWD, and will suffer in the performance department as Toyota seek to wring more fuel economy out of the Subaru sourced boxer instead of performance.
Toyota are also expected to increase the price from around US$20,000 to US$23,000 for a base model, and going as high as US$26,000 for a spec’d up version. Toyota risks alienating younger, more performance oriented drivers with this move, as the company has no significant sports vehicles.
Ed: Looks like Toyota doesn’t have the stones to make a new sports car, as we saw with the HT-FS. Nissan (370), Mitsu (EVO), Subaru(WRX) and even Hyundai (Genesis) are filling the gaps here, though not necessarily in the same price bracket.
