Lexus LC 500h Hybrid Pops Up Before Geneva Auto Show Premiere http://www.carscoops.com/2016/02/lexus-lc-500h-hybrid-coupe-heading-for.html

On Z5.

The FT-1 is just a non-functional concept based on the RC F wheels.

I am certain we'll know more @TMS 2015 in November. What Lexus might present with the highest probability is the LS concept (but I would prefer it not to be there from a marketing strategic point of view). The LC will be @NAIAS 2016. As for BMW, the M2 is on the short list, and as it will not be...

It can't be worse than Honda NSX.

Don't think it has anything to do. Today hybrid also stands for performance. I can see in future, companies tuning as Google or Apple Car to free up more kW, reprogram acceleration and hack the autonomous driving so that the car could be driven manually.

Given the Z4 successor, the Z5, is related to the Supra, the info concerning the current Z4 is that it will end production in November 2016. One question is will the Z5 and the Supra be produced at the same plant/line and where? The new X7 will be built in Spartanburg, we know of the plant...

Don't be unfair, same thing happened with the Lexus LFA. Anyway, new NSX looks more modern than new R8, heck even previous R8 looks more modern than new R8.

Maybe this? http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2015-toyota-open-wheel-sports-car-news-specs-rumors/

So there is hope for the Supra. Going to be a lot of coupes at TMC: GT86, Supra, RC, LC, hopefully yet SC, LFA II and MR2.

Still hope it will be a compact (<4,400 mm) two-seater with transaxle and Toyota engine.

That is not a platform. That is the drive train. Platform is the monocoque body of the car to make it really simpe.

I just do not understand how stupid top management (refering to bean counters) so as analysts can be. There is a limited group of people that want a specific car, that is a niche product. When those people have bought the car they won't that is it, as nobody else wo is not in that segment group...

Production is probably key to the answer. Both cars built on the same chassis, they could be produced at the same plant/production line, assuming it will be in Germany. But for this they would need to share all electrical components, which I think is not possible as Toyota will not want to use...

Wrong expression. Just feel like they are playing with out expectations. Don't forget that video interview, whe have to be patient.

I knew it would be something of the kind. But they are already starting to build up hype for the new Supra. Expect a long tease till end of 2016.

Actually it is the other way round. BMW picked Toyota for hybrid and fuel cell tech. Toyota agreed, becasue BMW could offer large scale Cf manufacturing, and sharing a specific platform with another company lowers costs. Also, without Toyota BMW would not build any Z4 successor, as without the...
