For When, the Next Toyota 86?

Last month, Subaru lifted the veil on the new generation of its BRZ sports car, a car developed jointly with Toyota. The Japanese automaker’s car is of course called the 86.

But in regards to actually producing a second generation of that 86, Toyota has been very discreet until now. Folks are getting antsy to see it, let’s say. At a recent Toyota event in Ontario, I took the opportunity to ask a representative of the company about it. Of course, he couldn't tell me when the model would arrive, but when I mentioned that I thought it would happen towards the end of 2021, he replied that my assumption made a lot of sense.

The Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps, in November? Could be.

Now, at least, Toyota has broken its silence regarding… its silence. In fact, Toyota would like the 86 not to be a BRZ clone, at least in terms of performance. We know that with the first-generation model, the two models offered very similar driving experiences.
