I’m convinced a new engine platform was already in the works long before BMW entered the picture. When the economic and logistical mess of “COVID” hit, that plan went into limbo. The fastest, most cost-effective way to keep the project alive? A joint venture. And let’s be real….these...

I get what you’re saying about Akio Toyoda’s driving impressions possibly influencing the LC’s final direction, but I think the timing and circumstances point to more than just a “hard reset” from the top. Yes, the LC in production form ended up as a heavy GT, but Toyota’s history with the...

I always go back to this clip (see below) of one of the Toyota engineers referring to the LC500 as the “Supra.” This was from 7 or 8yrs ago, before the MKV Supra was released. I believe that the plan was (at that time) to make a LC500 for Lexus that shared its underpinnings with the MKV Supra...

All the previous generation Supra’s were big and floppy, and they were GT cars….they seemed to work pretty good, and are still sought after even by today’s standards. I didn’t say they should use the V8. I said if they can repurpose the platform with substantially less weight, and a lighter...

The LC still has (I think) alot of potential. Not many people realize how much time, money, and effort went into the development of that platform. I don't think Toyota is in the business of spending a ton of money for nothing. With that said, whether it was a "spin-off" of the LS platform in...

Word is the LC is being kept alive a bit longer for some reason.

There will be delays. Weight seems to be a tough obstacle for this platform. The problem we (“potential buyers”) are going to face is, if it’s a carbon tub it will be a vehicle very few will be able to obtain as it will go well past the six figure price (definitely a Lexus). If it will be...

Any car that Toyota makes that has mirrors mounted on the door skin and not the A-pillar.....that's a car people need to pay attention to.

Brembo CCM-R brakes???, hmm….interesting.

CF goodies in that interior.

EV’s will be like the HarmonyOS of cars, the alternate option. ICE powered vehicles will always be the iOS/Android of cars. They will both exist simultaneously, and both have groups of buyers. That’s the beauty of America…free enterprise!

That green is killer!

I have alot of faith in alot of stuff, doesn't always mean it will happen....but most of the time it does, lol. Look, im not saying lighter and more performance means cheaper.....im saying more (quantity) materials in a product typically equates to more money for that product. For example, an...

A 2025 CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus (loaded) is MSRP at $56k. That's a vehicle that will have more features, the turbo 3.3 straight six, comfort, etc... than a new Supra. Again, MSRP at $56k. You're saying Toyota/Mazda cannot build a lighter vehicle (less material - sports car platform)...

That's exactly why I know a $100k Supra is not coming anytime soon. With that said, I don't think it will be a cheap Supra....it will be priced more than the outgoing A90. I know Corolla, Yaris, and two future Toyota/Lexus vehicles will be assembled in Motomachi....what those other two are, no...

All I know is that this is the PERFECT economical time to produce a sports car....in-house! GM has already started on the C9....designs are in progress in GM UK Division on the C9.
