Toyota's FT-86 and the Nürburging make nice

We already got a peek at what Toyota's return to the affordable performance coupe market looks like in the virtual world. But the PR machine is getting cranked up ahead of the FT-86's official debut at this month's Tokyo show with de rigueur Nürburgring nudge-nudge, wink-wink "spy videos." If the production model can live up to this cinematic snippet, Hyundai better start working on some upgrades for its Genesis Coupe. [Source: FT86 Club]

Wow, its even rear-wheel drive!

Are you listening GM?
You had the perfect platform in the Kappa, but chose to axe it instead.....shortsighted. You could've brought a smaller more sporting 4 seater to market than that monstrosity the Camaro. Too big, too heavy, too expensive, too late.
