Tada's philosophy wouldn't mesh well. I think he has a strong fondness of Porsche for engine sound and handling skills. I'd say have another chief engineer who likes power and practicality working with the engineers of the Supra project so their lessons in chassis and suspension tuning can be...

Like I said, it would help keep cost down. I'd also like if Toyota played a bit in the hatch market but I feel that they have no business in it. If they were to go in and try to take the consumers out of the competition's pocket, they would have to go back and keep doing new things instead of...

At what costs? The Supra is the halo car so if they want an MR2, they'll have to find something or someone to collab to cut cost. I'd prefer Porsche but considering how Toyota went to BMW to make a Toyota version of Porsche, not likely. Or could just take the Supra's suspension and body and...

And then you got highway monsters that have been benefitting off of sport cars never getting the ax over in the USA so they can provide ridiculous engines and boost at an affordable price and laugh at anything not even close to power. Most companies tend to be conservative when going through an...

I know A70 is Toyota but the cool part is he likes to tease us. He just got brand new ammo to dangle in front of us as we frantically guess what he means. You get to know, but understanding the repercussions of leaking said info would be like winning the lottery. Great, now don't tell anyone...

:bat: Had my hopes up man. But then again, I don't know how you can get this info without getting your ip tracked by Toyota and sued right after so it's fine. Legal system is expensive

I was actually going to ask if he had any...evidence you can say. Very out the blue question on a thread that just popped up wouldn't you think? Also, if it is a video that can't be shared since it a private domain, you or Guff could just non-chalantly post a pic of a car with similar setup...

I'll tell you how to avoid repercussions. PM it to A70 and Guff if anything and we can have the goods via text and away from prying eyes from journalists and Toyota. Since it is spoken in a forum with no proof, it can be speculation and nothing else.

Fast and stable around those corners, jesus.

So when is Lexus ever gonna make a below 3500 plb car again? No way they can do another LFA by any means

If I did, I would not be on this forum cause I'd get sued by Toyota so fast :lol:. I appreciate A70's restraint There is an engineers comment who was masked via facebook but has said Toyota took the B58 block to their in house R&D team with former Yamaha employees to help design and change the...

Economy crashed, CEO changes AND Toyota facing the Weight of the supreme court for the mock recalls at the time. Wasn't pretty

From what I have read, it won't be a bmw clone. I am more glad Toyota took the engine and played with it themselves to make a BMW engine a Toyota engine. Yamaha's involvement made it clear Lexus can make a sports car but the issue comes down to cost, return of investment and shaking the image...

A lexus SC can't work cause I would imagine Lexus has too much pride to put anything that isn't in house in their cars. They will be fine spending $$$$$ to have the marketing push of being in house. Now, if they can take the subframe and underpinnings and replace everything, that would be...

Still gonna be glad Lexus put money and effort into the platform. I'm fine how it is since it is still a lux coupe and one with no background at its first attempt but if they want it to sell more for a 2nd gen... Have a platform that keeps it around 3500 lbs for the RC edition, buttons and...

Hey, we're getting most of our actual news here on the forum and from Moto4AG regarding the Supra. I would never pay too much attention to Motor1 unless it came from an executive or engineer working on the project. AS Guff said, we are here in search of the truth. Car magazines are in the...

Just a heads up that if this A90 can keep up with a 911 Carrera s, granted, a late 2016 version for a lot less with a modifiable engine...shouldn't that be something to play with? Or are there better cars in mind?

See post above and note that Lexus has to start from somewhere. Though, you gotta admit. What the hell are they throwing in a base 90k vehicle that would make it chase and fight after a Nismo GTR/NSX/ etc...

What I wish people would understand is that the mustangs, Camaros and the highest trim being Gt350s and Zl1 are awesome but when you have generations of development to help make the cost to bump power and other aspects cheap in comparison to new cars on new platforms having to do things from the...
