The fate of the Toyota FT-86 Sports Car hangs in the balance as Toyota has decided to postpone the production and launch of the vehicle for another two years. The exact reason is not yet known but the speculation is that Toyota is not happy with the concept designs.
Also, if Toyota goes ahead with the production and unveils the car by next year, the financial scenario will not be ideal and hence it cold result in poor sales.
Toyota had plans to team up with Subaru a couple of years back but then again, the economic situations made Toyota put the project on hold. Toyota still went ahead with the production in 2009 and even unveiled a concept at the Toyota Motor Show in the same year. Now again, the design has been rejected and the hopefuls will probably have to hang around for a couple of years.
We want Toyota .. we want!
I am also waiting for this gorgeous car. I think delay in how long they bring a car with some power and handling to market. It looks awesome. I like how Toyota is looking to please the automotive “enthusiast” with this car. Me and my friends never ever thought that Toyota could pull something off like this.

I think it looks great but I have a funny feeling (Toyota seem too intent on shelving and changing the target market of the car) we’re going to have to wait even longer for it…
