Prices and an on-sale date for the 2012 Hilux are yet to be announced.

FT-86One car that isnt at Frankfurt is the production version of the FT-86 sports car. The rear-wheel-drive coupe has been co-developed with Subaru and has been around in various forms since late 2009.

Theres a new colour scheme for the FT-86 II concept on display at Frankfurt, but the final production model is scheduled to make its debut at the Tokyo motor show in December.

Toyota insiders say that only minor changes will be made for the production car: its likely to have simpler front and rear bumper designs and wont have the concept cars large rear spoiler.
