Has the price been confirmed yet as every time i read about this car the price goes up.

Some more pics there.

The silver one looks very nice.

Anyone know why they decided to change it from the FT86 to the GT86 outright. I thought there was also going to be a G version of the FT86. /Bit confused.

FT was the code name for a prototype toyota iirc?

DB_SamX · 27 Nov 2011 at 23:39

Yes, this one. Why change it to GT so soon to launch?

Because it was the prototype name?

From a marketing perspective GT86 makes more sense than FT86. To Joe Public 'FT' is meaningless, but 'GT' immediately makes you think 'sports car'

I does look better in those pics NathWraith

i do really like that, its not as mad as the concept but i think the inevitable changes to production haven't been overly unkind on it.

Great to see Toyota back in the sports car game & having another small, cheap RWD car around can't be a bad thing

Now its just a wait to see what the price comes in at...

design wise I am ok with it

but for 28k I would want a bit more performance...

at that price its not an 'affordable' sports car

Was really disappointed with the production version, but watching those videos it's growing on me, still no way as sharp looking as the two concepts, and that steering wheel looks tacky.

I wonder how watered down the Subaru version will be on release.

Looks terrific. Something that has been lacking for a while... a genuinely good looking Toyota.

I'm glad this has come out, but I'm a little disappointed with the end product. Be interesting if the Subaru version is a bit more lairy.

Price for the Toyota GT 86 is around £28k

Swap the wing and I think the Subaru is the much nicer looking car.

My interest = lost

A good car but how exactly did they manage to go over the original intended price by like 50%? It will be interesting to see if they are selling it for £28k in other regions or just price gouging here.
