Toyota FT-86
From NetCarShow.com
I guess if Honda wants to bring back the CR-X, then Toyota can bring back the AE-86 (in spirit at least)?
I love the idea, finally a modern Toyota with character and personality. There are some parts of the styling I'm pretty sketchy on, but overall it's lookin' pretty good.
The Toyota FT-86 Concept is 4,160mm long, 1,760mm wide, and 1,260mm high with a wheelbase of 2,570mm, giving it a compact feeling that is easy for the driver to handle while able to accommodate four occupants. In addition to being light and having a low center of gravity, the Toyota FT-86 Concept boasts the handling of a racing car as well as a 6-speed manual transmission and ADVICS brakes.
The stylish concept captures the heart with the "functional utility" of its highly-refined body. It is the creation of Toyota Europe Design Development known as ED2, which has established body lines that take into consideration a low center of gravity and aerodynamics. The interior is distinctive, featuring an instrument panel with a gray and white base, gauges with red neon lights and digital displays, and a navigation system. In addition, a zipper that evokes an image of interior lapping with minimal covering of a highly-refined body presents a striking display.
It is necessary to create a vehicle in which the driver plays the main role in order to have as many people as possible experience the joy of driving.
The Toyota FT-86 Concept is neither an electric vehicle nor a hybrid vehicle, but is a sports model with a gasoline engine developed to convey the essential appeal of automobiles in a new era. It is a must-see concept car that expresses TMC's desire to once again create a Toyota sports car.
A Small FR Sports Concept Vehicle that Combines Environmental Performance and the Joy of Driving
TMC seeks to develop the ultimate earth-conscious environmentally-considerate vehicle with a focus on hybrid technologies without losing sight of the appeal of cars themselves or the joy of driving.
Over the past several years, the need has been rising for motor vehicles that take into consideration global warming and other environmental issues, while there has also been concern that there have been too few new sports cars that make the heart beat faster and that the time is right for a new generation of sports cars. In response to these needs, TMC has developed the Toyota FT-86 Concept, a sports car equipped with a 2,000cc, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder, naturally-aspirated gasoline engine that evokes the joy of driving a car and the pleasure of vehicle ownership.
As the name "Future Toyota 86 Concept" implies, the Toyota FT-86 Concept, which will be exhibited at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, is a new 86 Toyota with a flash red finish. It is a compact, rear-wheel drive sports concept car that embodies speed and the excitement of driving that give cars their appeal as well as environmental performance.
I guess if Honda wants to bring back the CR-X, then Toyota can bring back the AE-86 (in spirit at least)?

The roofline kinda looks like they are copying off of Nissan's styling of the GT-R/370Z though.

The front facia is something to be desired. I do like the rest of it though.

Re: Toyota FT-86
I really liked the FT-HS, so I think this is a decent, if watered-down incarnation of it.
I'm just not really that interested in conventionally-fuelled cars these days.

Same here. That Lexus LF-Ch concept that came out a week or two ago also had a weird front end that wasn't as good as they rest of the car.
The rest of it is money, though.

Looks better than I expected. It's the first time Toyota's recent front end concept car styling has come off, although I haven't seen this other concept you guys are talking about. The details need a bit of work, but they'd be toned down for production anyway.
Swerve- My hope has been emancipated, and I'm reconstructing my anguish.

I will be honest, I hate Toyotas Symbol. I have since 1991 when they started slapping it on everything. It really looks out of place on this car.

I think the front looks like the new Miata. I like it, overall.
