The Toyota/Subaru collaboration has all of us car enthusiasts talking, but with the Subaru FT-86 getting ready to blow Toyota's version->ke3538 out of the water, the Japanese company is already thinking of a backup plan. According to some insiders at Toyota->ke88, a sedan version of the FT-86 has been given the green light and is considered a "plan B that will be introduced to cover the FT-86 investment in case the coupe doesn’t become a commercial success." The new sedan will cost somewhere in the area of $30K.

The sedan version will be built on the same Subaru Liberty->ke2476 platform that the coupe version is built on with the same Subaru 204 HP boxer engine under the hood. This engine will be mated to a six speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). There are also rumors of a top version model that will use the Subaru 3.6-liter H6 powerplant delivering 256 HP.

So, if built, the sedan version will be the third model in the FT-86 sedan, next to the coupe and the "baby" version.
