The production version will be revealed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor show in december.. Toyota and Subaru been working on this car for aaaaaaaaa long time haha. I think Toyota is making it a scion is because this is the car Scion needs so badly.. Subaru also making their own version of the car.

so the FT-86 and FT-S, when it goes into production, will be the same car. the only other version will be the one by subaru. toyota/scion is releasing(hopefully) one car or some variation of these two(three? four?) concepts.

It also has been named the FR-S and the FT-86 Concept II, amongst the names you have listed.

And it wont be AWD from what I've heard. Which is why Subaru is not making much noise about it as it disrupts the image they have portrayed for years about AWD.

I'll have my order in very soon...Can't wait!

Thanks!

Here's the follow up video everyone, i think it looks pretty good.. Mostly because i was hoping it wouldnt look exactly like the Toyota FT-86 concept II

Hmm if this gets launched under scion I wonder how badly the TC will hurt. From what I have seen the TC isn't selling the greatest in the first place.

I agree.
I hardly ever see tC2 around here.
I think I saw only about 5 since the launch. That's about once a month, I see it.
It will be even rarer once FR-S comes out as Scion.
But I definitely don't mind driving a rare car
