Toyota FT-86 Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
We know the Toyota rear-wheel-drive coupe will
wear a Scion badge, and now we might finally know what it's going to be called. The just-make-it-already
Toyota FT-86 concept has evolved into the Scion FT-86 and
word on the web is that the production version will be known as the Scion FT-S.
Look for the Scion FT-S coupe to make its debut at the
2011 New York Auto Show. Rumor has it that a 2.5-liter engine, not a 2.0-liter, will power the rear wheels and that Toyota plans a heavy marketing push aimed at the drifting crowd.
The
Subaru version is slated for a Geneva debut, and the rumormill now suggests that all-wheel drive is planned for the Subaru coupe, which should easily differentiate it from the Scion FT-S and help keep the two cars from cannibalizing each other's sales. If anyone's listening, we'll take an AWD Subaru coupe in full STI trim, please.
