They have a few “heavy hitters” involved in the R&D for the next motor. It’s definitely not a “Toyota only” involvement ;). I like Toyota’s direction with this because it will continue to make the “A100” more exclusive and still be competitive. In all honesty, I want to see the interior...

Lexus can’t mate their hybrid systems with an inline six engine. I believe the Lexus will be either V configuration turbo with hybrid, or all electric. The Toyota will have either a inline six turbo or inline four turbo with hybrid. Supposedly Toyota is making three variations of the inline...

Define expensive. With inflation, weak currency, EV propaganda, and decline in sports car market….almost every premium sports car from any manufacturer will start in the high $60k to mid $70k soon anyhow. I don’t think the Toyota will necessary be “based” on the Lexus. I believe it will be a...

Unfortunately, Toyota’s goal with the next flagship sports car cannot ride on a touring chassis….it’s the best or nothing. The only chassis they can use to accomplish this (without outsourcing) will be from one they share with Lexus (LFA successor). Both brands want to have a solid chassis...

If we are talking about the "TNGA-A" platform, the Lexus variant and Toyota variant will be almost entirely different. Powertrain, drivetrain, interior materials, ride quality, comfort, tech, etc... will be exclusive to each other. I will say, Toyota will have the focus on performance, while...

Lexus's variant won't be the same as Toyota's variant. Don't give up just yet on the A100. From what I know, Toyota will not be utilizing the same setup as the Lexus. Base platform yes, drivetrain no. Let's be patient and see what happens.

It’s all politics folks….understand politics, and you will make very good decisions in your life (stocks, real estate, cars, etc…). It’s all politics! EV’s were never intended to be THE ONLY way to power vehicles. Yes, we are seeing more and more companies adopting EV’s in their lineup, but...

Toyota isn’t giving up on the internal combustion engine. That’s all I’m gonna say.

…be patient.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say their build quality is garbage. Yeah it’s not Toyota level, but it’s definitely nowhere near garbage. I had a 2019 STI (brand new at the time) and it was excellent quality in my opinion. Materials felt great, looked expensive, and had some beefy mechanicals that...

It wouldn’t throw the chassis dynamics off all that much. Remember, they are still keeping the weight far back (towards the center of the car close to the firewall) with the G16E. Slightly top heavy compared to the flat four, but the makeup in weight (3cyl vs 4cyl) will help. It would make...

They need to put the 3 cylinder turbo engine from the GR Corolla in the 86 and call it a day.

Why fear? Nissan had no problem(s) with their VR38 program.

If they can source another straight six closer (Japan) then they will go that route. However, I still have my bets on the V6TT from the Lexus’. Not a bad thing at all, but news is a closed deck “stronger” V6 block is in the works. It also coincides with the news I heard of the...

Wasn’t the MKIV like 44k sold worldwide from 93’ to ‘02? If so, the MKV has sold almost half of that in just two years? Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
