Uhh, There Looks Like There Is A MASSIVE Leak From Toyota On Upcoming Models

Given that the GT86 was created by taking an AWD Impreza, removing the front half-shafts, mildly revising the front suspension and throwing a coupe body over the top, anything would be an improvement.

255 horsepower is desperately needed along with suspension tuning that doesn't default to drifting.

The correct name to give it would be CELICA.

The Toyota and Subaru CANNOT look alike.

Throw a higher performance version in a year or so later and call it the Celica GT.

Throw a higher performance version in a year or so later and call it the SUPRA.

Matt: Do you have the Subaru version headed your way?...LOL!!!

There's no way in hell I'd have anything "Subaru".

Toyota needs to stick to what they do best and sells to their customers. Reliable auto appliances.

This information came from an Instagram page why are people using it as reliable information?

The Instagram page copied and rewrote text to their own liberty from a Motor1 article provided by me as insight from a former partner I knew from Coventry, who now works for Toyota in Plano.

Nothing more than I hate reading my own information, bastardized and fed to the masses way out of context.

When so many of those things don't happen I am not going to like the fact my info is going to be tied to this stupid story people keep passing around and took out of context.

I never referred to the powertrain of the twins nor did I even discuss the GS being redesigned. That is definitely not happening, but yet they decided to make up BS and latch onto my text.

I most certainly did not attend any dealer meeting like they are trying to deceitfully claim to establish further credibility for their narrative.

I have indeed seen another version of a slide like that for Lexus brand and for Toyota models beyond 2022. I did not share those because I was already seeing what happened with these ones being exposed.

And sorry I'm seeing that some other websites have decided to write the claim that I attended a dealer meeting as an insider and I most certainly did not. Someone else did, I cannot do that as a competitor.

The posted above information did not say that so I do apologize for overreacting. However I am pissed off that All Car News has gotten some things wrong and people are running with it.

The Motor1 story is the only one that is credible and even that isn't 100%. Things do change prior to engineering sign off, even if planned during core development.

One thing is for certain I did state to them that the 2021 Mirai was once the 2020 model year Lexus GS (L20) due for production in the spring of 2019 and almost at final design freeze in October 2016 upon indefinite suspension.

Akio Toyoda himself gave the 300B GS program to the Mirai and signed off that FCV in 2017 for Job 1 in November 2020. The aborted 2020 GS was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2017 on the front and rear end of the LS+ Concept.

Scion of Scion TC and Scion FRS. Goodbye Subaru boxer engine.

Anything that gets rid of the horrible Subaru shit is a good thing.
