As we all know the old MKIV Supra had a base naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE, and a high performance twin turbo 2JZ-GTE. Assuming Toyota were to offered FT-1 in two trim levels; how should they go about this? Should a base model FT-1 go after cars like the base C7; while a high performance model will...

Toyota has a fascinating history when it comes to sports cars. The 2000GT of the 1960s was powered by a Yamaha-developed twin-cam straight-six and styled with enough sex appeal that a topless version -- one of two built -- earned a supporting role in the 007 classic "You Only Live Twice." The...

FT-1 will be at Toronto as well. https://www.facebook.com/fiveaxisdesign/photos/a.129963550402006.22829.124770757587952/820412378023783/?type=1&theater

The LF-LC concept most likely be called the LC500 and LC500h.

Agreed with this statement about halo cars bringing people into the showrooms. Me and some friends went to the local Lexus dealer to take a look at the LFA. Some how one of the salesmen talked my buddy into getting a CT200h of all things, and he wasn't even looking for a car.

Getting off topic, but I wish they would have called the "GS-F" a GS500 and saved the GS-F nameplate for a V8 turbo model. Word on ClubLexus has it that a V8 turbo wasn't ready in time, so instead Lexus just throw in the same old RC-F engine into the GS-F. But the next gen GS-F should be a V8...

I also think it will vary from person to person, and from automaker to automaker. But this is what I was told a platform is???

It is normal for niche products like the 86/FR-S to start loosing sales over it's life cycle. I posted declining sales of the Z, MX-5, Z4 and etc on the other thread as well.

I don't see why this is such a big deal. Other niche products have declining sales over the years as well. Example below. Mazda MX-5 Miata 2006: 16,897 2007: 15,075 2008: 10,977 2009: 7,917 2010: 6,370 2011: 5,674 2012: 6,305 2013: 5,780 2014: 4,745 Nissan Z 2006: 24,635 2007: 18,957 2008...

This happens with other niche products as well ;) Mazda MX-5 Miata 2006: 16,897 2007: 15,075 2008: 10,977 2009: 7,917 2010: 6,370 2011: 5,674 2012: 6,305 2013: 5,780 2014: 4,745 Nissan Z 2006: 24,635 2007: 18,957 2008: 10,337 2009: 13,117 2010: 10,215 2011: 7,328 2012: 7,338 2013: 6,561 2014...

Yes, they made it 10% larger than what the production road car would be. The reason behind that decision was to give the concept car greater stage presence.
