Toyota FT-86 redesign rumors are UNTRUE! Production version coming to Geneva « » 11:32 AM 2-19-2010
There was a nasty rumor a couple weeks back that the FT-86 design was scrapped for a crappier design. Well if it has, then the senior designer at the Toyota design studio which designed the original FT-86 concept's design doesn't even know about it.
Here's the Q&A with him:

Which is slightly unfortunate since I like the kinks and creases...

I keep drooling over the concept car pics. I have the same concerns on how this will translate into production version.

Basically Toyoda himself likes the exterior, so we should see something close to it )he says bonnet needs to be raised by 2" to meet regulations), and he laughed when he asked about interior being production ready ;-).
They started working on chasis in 2005, and design in mid 2008.
