Toyota To Produce FSC Concept
Looks great for a minivan/wagon IMO. They're gonna sell a ton of them. Good decision on Toyota's part.
Now, on to the production of the FT-HS concept...

Japan Report: Toyota To Produce FSC Concept
Back at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota unveiled the FSC, a good-looking wagon-meets-sedan-meets-minivan crossover concept.
The FSC, low and sleek and with a roomy cabin designed to give off a ‘lounge feeling,’ looked sharp and drew a lot of positive comment from rival designers. Thereafter, its future purpose in life remained a mystery.
Japan’s scoop mafia now has the answer. Toyota will launch the FSC in Japan at the end of September as the Mark X Zio, according to reports circulating in Tokyo.
This genre-blending crossover, a Toyota rival of sorts for Europe’s Opel Signum, will come with 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V-6 powertrains.
Loosely connected to the Camry, it’ll seat either six or seven and comes to market with only minor visual changes from the FSC show car, although the concept’s fabulously futuristic interior has, of course, been toned down.

Good thing that you're pointing it out. I was confused when I saw the name too. Toyota never gives two models the same "base name" unless they share the same base. So this production FSC is really something special from Toyota, since I don't think they've ever released a minivan/MPV based on a RWD platform before.

A few things in this news story do not make sense, but I guess we will see soon enough what the reality will be.
