As long as we avoid the "love-it-or-hate-it" Lexus front grille, Toyota actually knows how to style their upper end vehicles. I'm confident it will be pleasing to the eye.
The exterior design is already looking promising for it having a liftback. As for price, I think it being badged a Toyota it will be a great value (Unless we are talking land cruiser)
oh yeah? Then explain the 911. 96' wheelbase. backseats.
And your whole "ugh the engine is dif place" speel actually helps a car having backseats with the motor up front, or did you think they slapped seats on top of the motor in the 911? It's rear engine not mid, such as the cayman.
Chassis...
Unfortunately if we were to quote "representatives (read: salesperson) we would be seeing RX9s, mid engine corvettes, honda s1000 roadsters, focus rs400s, new motor STi (As has been rumored for nearly 10 years for every year), turbo brz/frs and the Ford Bronco return would have been 15 years ago.
About zero chance for online motor connectivity.
As for inline - I'd say 50-50.
The last supra motor was sourced from a Lexus, so if there is not an inline motor currently, expect it to be from whatever it is they have now.
That's not a bad thing though, the motors from Lexus are their...
Having had two seaters in the past, I can attest that I wish I could fit some friends back there. 99% of the time 2 seats was enough but that one time you want to all go in one car I wish that car was mine.
Well they are, after all, just rumors.
We ultimately have to wait and see unless there is some credible leak on a power plant.
Ultimately if you are willing to spend $84k - a 911 S isn't far off from that and a great back up plan.
I mean really, there are a ton of options at that price point.
I can't speak of why Lexus made the new LC other than a new flagship to attract buyers.
Most still buy Lexus SUVs. Lexus history itself was a bit special as it was really an American brand, who's cars were sold under the Toyota banner elsewhere.
The supra motor was even sourced from a Lexus...
I like your effort, but you'll have to understand the Japanese bubble economy in the 90's allowed all sort of crazy cars to come up.
People had lots of money back then, and prices on oil and housing was cheap.
In fact, someone with my engineering experience was getting paid nearly identical...
Hey, Hey! I'm 32 and started driving in an old ford escort before it was stolen, the one with the automatic seatbelts haha.
Since then I've had a few vehicles, lots of imports, my last being a GTR that I ended up crashing. 4 times. Windy empty country roads are just too tempting when I was...
I don't see the problem? It's fitting for the BMW to get a hybrid.
As for the Canadian Toyota plant, it was rated one of the highest quality standard plant on earth.
"TMMC has fourteen (14) J.D. Power and Associates plant quality awards, including the prestigious global Platinum Plant Quality...
The rotary at Mazda is indeed still being worked on, but it was specifically stated to be as a range extender.
If you have to understand this is now Mazda post Ford. They do not have the cash for a high performance vehicle - their words, not mine
I mean they still could in the future, but they...
