Toyota FT-86 G's Sport Concept at Tokyo Mega Web

From http://www.ft86club.com

Last I read on the homepage, the Ft-86 G's sport concept was at the Toyota Amlux display building in Tokyo. These pics are from the Toyota Mega Web showroom in Odaiba, an artificial island in Tokyo Bay. So it looks like the car has been moved. Next they need to move it to the US so I can see

So, pretty soon, every car in the world will have the exact same LED DRL lights? (audi, benz, porsche, ford, etc.)

Don't get me wrong, that car is pretty slick though.

Yep, just like every car has HIDs... And airbags... And seatbelts.

I believe it was Jeremy Clarkson who said something like "If you want to know what is coming to your cars in 10 years, look at the current model S class Mercedes"

G's, TRD, L-finesse. How many tuning lines do they need?

Looks that way. They are just going to figure out different ways to paste them on there it seems to give that extra special bit of character for the same string of lights we've seen before.

My mom's '85 500SEL had driver's airbag, automatic climate control, ABS, heated seats and a power back seat. I think Ford beat Mercedes to it by a year or two when it came to HIDs though.

This is a very exciting car. It will be interesting to see how the Subaru version(s) compare.

Toyota did announce the FT-86 for early 2012. They should even manage to release it by the end of 2011, if people stop *****in about the gas pedal on Prius..
anyway, press kit:
