I hope, but it doesn't make sense at all.

I'm a big fan of convertibles but IMO I don't like the design of most Toyota convertibles except the MR2 spyder. The lines never seem to flow smoothly especially with the top down making the rear trunk area a bit bulgy.

I'm with you on that!!! Those wheels so do not match that car. It's like some ugly was intentionally added to not over-shadow the Lexus brand or something??

Just dunno, but those wheels do not fit, Toyco must acquit to free this wonderful car of these wheels!

From Geneva introduction, Toyota boss:
“But GT86 was designed from the start as a cabriolet… That probably tells you all you needed to know.”
