We now have an early look at what Toyota's next gen launch timeline is going to look like! We should expect to see the new 86 sometime in Summer 2021!

A friend of mine sent me this and he told me that on some of the other slides mentioned a new turbocharged 2.4L boxer 4-cyl engine for the 86!

Over the next couple of years we can expect:

Sienna (All Hybrid) - Fall 2020
All-New Crossover (All Hybrid) - Fall 2020
86 - Summer 2021
All-New CUV - Q3 2021
Tundra - Q4 2021
Sequoia & 4Runner - 2022

Only a little more than a year before the new 86 😎

VERY cool!

One question though... are they saying the next-gen Sienna will ONLY be a Hybrid?

Finally!

I can't wait, especially after reading this info that came from a Toyota dealer conference:

• a new platform with a 260HP Turbocharged engine
• better interior
• RWD
• Release Date: Summer 2021 (I heard June)

Something tells me there won't only be a 260 horsepower version but something more by way of some GR trims we've seen.

June makes a lot of sense for the release date. As for the GR trims there has to be a GR version of the 86, especially since Toyota is bringing the GRMN brand to North America!

Could a Supra GRMN be on the way?

this is great news... can't wait to see what it will look like !

• better interior

Sigh. The interior is fine. I'd rather have the same interior without the weight increase of a 'better' interior.

This reminds me of how we used to have the option of really nice cloth seats in the early 90s, but people only wanted leather 'cAuSe iTS NiCEr DUrRrr', so now we don't get nice cloth seats anymore. Any cloth seats on most cars are shit.

Fuck leather. It's a terrible car seat material.

I still wouldn't be surprised if that better version is only available in Japan

Yea, but isn't that ALWAYS the case?

 

[Haskins]

I'm already preparing myself for that. There's going to be a least 1 sweet version that we won't get because it's an exclusive.

 

[GR86]

yes, just like the GRMN edition for the 86...

GRMN 86 pricing still surprises me. At $53k, its not an easy purchase for most to consider.

 

[GR86]

right, it aims at a completely different clientele base at that point... only 911s can pull that off where the top of the line model costs 3x the base
