Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division for Toyota Sales U.S.A., met with reporters in Detroit Monday to talk about NUMMI, floor mats, and corporate President Akio Toyoda quoting the book, "How the Mighty Fall." First, though, let's get to the crux of the Q&A -- will the rear-drive FT-86 sports coupe developed with Subaru be sold in North America as a Toyota, or as a Scion?
"It's a concept," was the initial answer. Yeah, right. Plus, all the Takumi drifters and road racers alike don't care... We all just want an exciting, rear-wheel drive car from Toyota.
