Shame, I saw it in Paris earlier this year and it's only competition was the IS350 and G36. The MX5 doesn't come close.

Going after MX5 share. Pretty logical methinks since the 86 clearly has the handling/dynamics cred behind it.

I think they'd do better selling either supercharged or turbo-charged variant in a hard top. I guess we'll all have to wait until one of the next 2 Toyota sport cars comes off the production line.

saw that a few weeks back in a magazine, looks ok, not a fan of soft tops.
dont think they will sell as quick as the hard tops.

you think they would make them more readily available in general rather than make a soft top,

still waiting for a turbo model to launch...

No further details of the car have emerged, although it is understood the convertible will share the coupe’s 147kW/205Nm 2.0-litre boxer engine.
Final production versions of the convertible 86 are tipped to be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
