Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Toyota said they are switching to two global modular platforms. One FWD for Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Highlander, Rva4 and ect. And One RWD for LS, LC, (and future) GS, IS, RC, Crown, and Mark X and etc.
Anytime :)
I believe thats what happen with the LFA. I recall rumors saying that it was originally suppose to be a $100k V8 aluminum body Toyota. But in the end it got hijacked by the Lexus division.
To everyone that is disappointed by this you can send them an email or post on their FB with your concerns and feedback. Give them Hell! :bat:

After a second look, this sounds a lot like that article from that Japanese car magazine that was posted last week.

So I think I finally have a good scale. To avoid the issue with live photos I instead used 3D photos via hum3d. We know both concepts have 21 inch wheels so I matched them up.
Bonus, those that were wondering how the Z4 stacks up to the 8 series concept.
Just a thought, but maybe they are testing the prototypes with the 4 banger for a new rumored "Z3/86" replacement. I recall an older article where a BMW spokesman state that the joint platform with Toyota will underpin more future sports cars.
No, but things do change over time. Celica went from RWD to 4WD/FWD. MR2 went from coupe/t-top to roadster. Personally, I don't care what they call it. I'm just hoping it will look good, perform well, and be priced reasonable.
Lol, I'm pretty sure I'm the one that linked that here. People's perception will vary. You can't always judge a size of a car by photo alone. As Guff pointed out in past threads there are factors that play a role like: distance, angle, and camera lens. All I know is that the press release from...
