Yes, I keep an eye on this car, though it is slowly turning into a lot of nothing really.

NEWS>> FT86 ENTRY PRICE RUMORED IN JAPAN - SUB ¥2 MILLION - Speedhunters

Quote:

With the Japanese version of the Toyota FT86 presentation scheduled for the Tokyo Motor Show later on in the year, Japanese magazines have been speculating on a lot of details about the car that could single-handedly save the entry-level sports car market in Japan. One rumor that most seem to be agreeing on is that the successor to the legendary hachiroku will be sold for ¥1.99-million. With the strength the Yen has been enjoying as of late the converted price of $26,000 might seem pricey buy we can expect the Scion version of the car to be much closer to the $20,000 mark. If this is so, that will make the FT86 more affordable than the entry level Mazda Roadster in Japan, which sells for a ¥2.33-million ($30,500). This is one car everyone is waiting for!

That is what im afraid of but im keeping my hopes up for now. This car has the potential to be huge. I still think I might get the Suby version though I just cant see myself in a Scion not downing them at all they just seem teeny bopper to me.

I wish they would reconsider putting it under the Toyota badge, but Scion is the new 'hip' brand so it will go that way.
For 20k it seems like a decent deal, compared to other companies offering FWD 4 bangers at that price, but throw in a turbo and add 2-3k and it will be a huge hit.
