Another day, another Toyota FT-86 redesign rumor dismissed. According to Toyota Execs that talked with Edmund's Inside Line the rumors of the Toyota FT-86 redesign was nothing but "total speculation".

However interesting is the fact that the date is indicated as 2013, which rumored with the same wild redesign rumors. We will let you believe what you want. Just remember Andrea Formica's announcement at Geneva stated "We will introduce the FT-86 in early 2012".

Update: Inside Line contacted Greg Thome, communications manager for the Toyota division in the U.S. He characterized the below report as "total speculation."

"We have no further information to offer on the car beyond the fact that it's a concept vehicle," he said.

Not to be one of those guys, but they need to come out and give us some new info. The sites are loosing people by the bunches. They need to do something to keep the interest up. I'll admit, I haven't checked out any ofmy sites in about a month+. Please Toyota give us something.

Yea, the release is so damn far out. 2012 had our hopes up for lots of action in 2011, but 2013 is killer

November 01, 2010 release date along with the release of PS3 GT5 - "I have a dream!"

If the rest of it is speculation I would think the 2013 release date is as well. By years end I think we should see a bit more concrete evidence from Toyota.
