Sadly enough I can see this happening - the hype has been built, and now let's beige it up like every other new Toyota.

There is still hope in Subaru, and frankly this might make the FT-86 a bit more... how you say... undesirable, in a good way. Take for instance the 6th generation Celica, which is (along with the 7th gen) considered to be "ugly" by those not in the cool people circle . In America it is powered by a motor that gives only 140 horsepower, and it would of been better at the time to invest your money into an MR2 or something, making this car a bit of a rarity and giving those who own it almost a status among each other. Mean while, you could slap on a 260 horsepower motor, jack it up to 330 horses and have a lot of great fun in it.

Now am I saying that I am in favor of this trend where Toyota is heading... remains to be seen, however what I am saying is that Toyota just might make this thing really lame, with a lot of really cool stuff you could add to make it unique and go VROOM a lot, and no one will like it as much as enthusiasts.

Plus the exterior is going to stay the same (as far as I know) and the engine can always be screwed around in, along with the possibility that G-sport concept will come out sometime after the FT-86 show's promise in the market.
