I am quite aware of that as the focus is different but I figured with the two companies being entirely different yet working together, Lexus would want to be seeing what their brother is doing while keeping an ear on the partner of BMW.
I recall A70 saying Lexus put some pressure or was at...
When I get older, would make sense to do that. I'm talking like 28 when I'm established in my career. But considering their fleet, I see a shit load of cars worth trying out. Sounds like a bargain if you have managed to set everything else aside.
Wait a minute, at that price point, Lexus...
Wait,
Manhattan is jsut a membership where you go in, have drinks and jsut make friends with other exotic cars as a showroom piece that can be driven? surprised I haven't heard about it.
I'm not hard to please, just follow the cheif engineer's mission who helped give a new platform to Toyota/Subaru that is causing waves in the aftermarket/tuning market.
If Tada wanted a 3000 lbs car with impressive handling that challlenges the MR/ RR layout they have, that should say...
Well, I meant if this was a way to let the enemies guard down from trying anything funny, then they are doing a good job with some strange specs. It just feels weird when even A70 confirned some bad news on the matter and Guff had to update it.
I want something from Toyota, anything at this point
Guff and A70 pretty mucb made confirmation that with some news regarding marketing, that the weight and price has indeed been inflated, so it's not as much a rumor as we thought.
If it was a troll attempt, it's a good one since news went around not just for Toyota but also the automotive public
Storm White GTR
Going back to this business practice made me wonder something
The only way this works is if they supply a 47k GT car at 300-335hp and 3400 lbs but acceptable in its class.
Tada's version has to exist somewhere as a trim upgrade as the GRMN or something at 60k.
Toyota, I know you're reading this.
Please make this the lightweight monster we were led to believe so it can run amok on the sports car segment. At least 350-380 hp at 3000-3150 lbs would be enough to draw curiosity towards Toyota, let alone having it at 57 or 58k where it undercuts Cayman...
Wait a minute
A70, GUFF,
Is Akio okay with this? Is he fine with how the car is? Or does he not have the clout to change Toyota's mind?
Or is it BMW that has him just leaning back and accept this?
The only thing that would make Tada happy is the aftermarket support to make it be the car we all wanted, which is bs when it should already be like the car A70 drove stock.
And what about the MR2? Is that actually going to be the true Cayman killer if they indeed plan to make it after this Supra? I'm really disgusted and I hope toyota wakes up and see what they should do rather than what they want. A mini Cayman at 40k that sits beween the 86 and Supra would make...
The only person, I feel bad for is not enthusiasts, but Tada. The 86 was the first car he was able to make and outside of power, was great.
Now we have a matter of this getting screwed and he just has to watch from the sidelines as the car he wanted to work on gets muddled and fucked with by...
We won't be getting a Hybrid until like the latter years of the generation and it's uncertain waht Toyota has cooked up by then. I don't know about the tech so I don't want to say anything about it.
The 86 in Japan lost about one hundred pounds and cost 24k at the time when in Japan it was around 28k, so that's easily 4k in dolalrs saved from a rac eeprspective.
Tada had said 55k so I tried to be at that ballpark in a reasonable fashion,
I hope you meant 450HP at 3200 lbs at 55-60k with...
