For how long? Read on.
The second-generation Subaru BRZ was officially unveiled last month and already we're hearing about a possible STI version. Fingers crossed. But what about its sister, the new Toyota 86? To date, Toyota has remained silent on the matter. According to Japanese website Mag-X, the automaker initially planned to reveal its new affordable sports coupe at the just-canceled 2021 Tokyo Auto Salon, originally scheduled for next month but that will now take place online.
However, sources claim Toyota isn't interested in doing an online-only reveal and aims to have some sort of in-person gathering. And thus the decision has supposedly been made to delay the 2022 86's debut by a full six months.
The hope is that between now and then the pandemic will be under better control thanks to the rollout of new vaccines. By late June or early July, that live debut event will likely be able to take place with far fewer restrictions. Toyota has not commented on the report and isn't expected to until later next week following the Christmas weekend.
