Toyota's 86 platform is pretty old by now, but that doesn't make us love it any less. It's a wonderful little sports car, and while we'd like to see it get a comprehensive update, we may be waiting on that for a while. In the meantime, Toyota announced on Tuesday that it would make a special Hakone Edition 86 available for the 2020 model year.
Why Hakone Edition? What's a Hakone? Well, the Hakone Turnpike is one of Japan's most famous and beloved driving roads and since the 86 is currently one of Japan's most beloved driver's cars, it kind of makes sense.

Specifically, the interior comes with tan and black Alcantara seats, a black and tan armrest and a stitched 86 logo on the dash. You also get tan stitching on the steering wheel, parking brake and shift boot.
