The rumor mill is back in action


Rumors about a Toyota GT 86 sedan have been swirling for years but new details are starting to emerge about the mysterious model.




According to Motoring's sources, the Subaru Cross Sport concept provides a hint at what the production model could look like. As they explained “It’d be easy to bring the B-pillar forward, add a rear door and slant the rear roof section to create a viable sedan look."




The source also said the model is being developed under the 734A codename and could measure 4750mm long, 1780mm wide and 1400mm tall with a wheelbase that spans 2750mm.




To compensate for the additional weight, the model would reportedly use a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. There are also rumors about hybrid and all-wheel drive variants but it remains unclear if they will actually go into production.




If everything pans out, the sedan could be launched in late 2016.
