A lot of us have been wondering what the 2011 Scion tC will look like. We here at The College Driver have posed the question many times to Toyota PR and they were tight-lipped on the car's details. Then Toyota introduces a revolutionary car (by Toyota standards) at the Tokyo Auto Show called the FT-86, that appears, from the outside, to be production ready. So the question remains what badge will the FT-86 Concept get when it reaches production within the next 18 months?


The Detroit Bureau, speculates that the car will be sold in the U.S. as a Scion, quite possibly as a replacement for the tC hatchback. If that is true, we expect the interior to get draped in gobs of gray plastic and silver paint. We would also expect the interior not to feature the LCD instrument panel and all the other high-tech accouterments.


The Detroit Bureau goes further to speculate, that the FT-86 would be sold in Japan as Toyota Celica since the name has a cult following. If sold in Japan, they believe the vehicle would go up market, and be packaged with features that are somewhere between the 2011 Scion tC and the FT-86 concept.


Either way, the Toyota FT-86 is one sweet ride and we hope that Toyota doesn't water-down the design too much as it makes its way from concept to reality. So I will leave this one open to you, should the FT-86 be sold as Toyota Celica, Scion tC or something else?
