Yes I want to see that but fitted with a destroked EZ36 as a EZ33. I think you would want to ditch the flexible conrods. Fit a Supercharger etc with the D4S or what ever its called lol

Scion will get a new tC soon, so they don't need another sport car. However, Toyota is suffering in lacking of sport car in the lineup. Seriously, I will change the badge, if FT-86 will be a Scion. Or I will end up driving a next gen Lexus IS.

I agree with you 100%.

Is Calty designing the new tC? they shouldn't mess up their design, because I don't see an impressive design from them lately. I don't want people to think I drive a Korean car, while I'm driving Toyota/Lexus/Scion.

When you mentioned Calty, I ran a search for them and mentioned toyota. Google found an article about a tour of the facility and it has clays with the original concept the FT-86 was based off of, as well as a clay of what looks to be a variation of the FT86....thought it was interesting, so I will post the pics and the webpage hyperlink. Apparently I only grabbed one of the pics, but you can see the web page with all the pics.

Oh, that's the FT-HS. The one I though it would be the new Supra, but it turned out to be FT-86. Whatever it is, It's beautiful.

If the FT-86 is going to be the New Scion Coupe or TC or whatever. Then what happeneed to the Scion Concept Fuse that was supposed to be sold in 2011?

IMO, Fuse concept has a chance to become the next gen tC. They announced that new tC is coming this year, and FT-86 coming in the end of 2011. Moreover, Toyota's quality will be better than ever, since they try to gain the consumers' trust once again.

IMO I think this FT-86 is not going to be the new generation tC as the Fuse would be comming in. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're right. And giving FT-86 to Scion is a boner's decision. Keep them where they belong.
