Last week in the Japanese media they were quoting the price at around $33,000. But with the yen/dollar ration at under 90:1 I'm betting Toyota and Subaru are sweating it out. That would put it up there in the same area as an Sti or the IS models.
Toyota's President Akio Toyoda has said the automaker is in desperate need of an excitement injection, and here's the first dose: the Toyota FT-86 Concept.
Inspired by the Corolla-based AE86 sports coupe of the '80s, the FT-86 concept was designed by the automaker's ED2 styling studio in France and bears a remarkable resemblance to the FT-HS concept shown at the Detroit Auto Show several years back.
Since it's a "concept," Toyota hasn't divulged much about the FT-86 yet, but we do know it's powered by a Subaru-derived 2.0-liter boxer four sending power to the rear wheels. Toyota focused on keeping the weight down to improve handling and, according to one source, the platform is unique to the concept. The engine sits lower in the engine bay to aid aerodynamics while keeping the center of gravity in check, and the overall dimensions of Toyota's new 2+2 are 163.78 inches long and 69.29 inches wide, with a wheelbase of 101.18 inches.
Dont know if posted yet.. i know were all talking about the subbie/toy motor..
dont know if this has been addressed though
After the FT-86 bows in concept form at the Tokyo Motor Show next month, the production model will be shown sometime next year with sales beginning sometime in late 2011 carrying a sticker price somewhere north of $20,000.

I heard its not going to be turbo and its only going to have about 160WHP
Im hearing the same. But thats okay as long as its a affordable car and the motor is as stout as the 4ag was/is.
Im really hoping they offer a base model that doesnt have all the glitz/glamour you get in alot of cars nowadays. Like satnav, leather, aluminum gauge shit.
It just doesn't have the same mojo/aura that the ae86 had I'm sorry. That being said, I hope it's coming to the US and that it will stir up a cheap rwd competition between automakers...imagine a new 240sx...mmm
