Toyota FT-86 brings Initial D back to life
By Derek Fung on 09 October 2009
After years of churning out dull but worthy cars, as well as the odd hybrid or two, Toyota is looking to add some sizzle to its line-up. Like Ford, Chevy and others, Toyota's mining its past to do so.
A classic, reborn
Apart from the Prius, Toyota's current line-up doesn't really get the synapses firing. And even then there's certainly nothing in the company's range that gets the blood pumping. So, for its home town motor show, Toyota will be bringing out the FT-86 sports coupe concept car as a precursor to a future production model.
