Something happens between Toyota and Subaru, but I can not figure out what … It all starts with the story of the cabrio version of the Toyota FT-86. Will be or will not be in. The Toyota has shown us 1-2 times original, both right hand and left hand although it has stated it will not turn it into a production such costs. The Tetsuya Tada belies this statement tells us that “consideration” but Toyota (via Scion) showed the dealer and after we learned that lingers indefinitely etc etc etc.
The latest news for Toyota and the cabrio FT 86, comes through Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, brand chief Subaru’s and chairman of parent Fuji Heavy Industries.
We construct the car so if we build it, will not happen. The engineering department told me that if we lose the roof will need to redesign the structure. We needed a big change.
Told Automotive News during an event at the Tokyo Motor Show . And not wrong in one piece. Toyota was responsible for the design and planning of the Subaru has taken the drivetrain and construction. But Toyota has already said in Geneva that the FT 86 has been designed from the outset as a cabrio, so no problem. What’s playing then? The Yoshinaga-san does not seem to be moved
I understand very well that Toyota receives intense pressure from the U.S. market for the car. But the biggest challenge is to meet the internal safety standards. There are major technical difficulties.
One of us both mocks and generally do not like. Or the Toyota lying that the FT 86 was designed from the outset as a cabrio or Subaru lie that will require redesign because you will have problems rigidity. Find among you gentlemen, there is beautiful the image passes to the world.
