That's right, the FT-86 has been around long enough to warrant a facelift even before it goes on sale. According to Akihiro Nagaya, manager of Toyota's design department, the changes are in response to driver feedback on the original FT-86 concept. Along with a redesign for the front end, necessitated by Europe's strict pedestrian impact rules, the A-pillar has been pushed back by around four inches to produce a more upright windshield. Autocar says the redesigned windscreen apparently makes the driving experience closer to the original AE-86, and alleviates a tunnel-vision effect the old concept produced.

I really dislike that car. Toyota took a shortcut creating that car and I am disappointed in them for doing it. I am sure it will be fun to drive, but it shouldn't be called a Toyota.
