I think it will depend on the overall production figures. With that said probably the GRMN and maybe the manual version (if it does happen) will be sought after. The rest I'm thinking will just be a dime a dozen.
Same, but for a different reason. I don't see them messing with the nose because that would probably mean they would have to rework the lines on the hood to match which equals more money. If I had to guess, a J29 facelift would be very similar to the A80 in which only the housing of the lights...
You geniuses do realize the last Celica (6 yrs & 9 months) and MR2 (7 yrs & 9 months) both didn't have super long life cycles either, and they both received a refresh.
If the end of production date for the J29 is still accurate (3/2019-3/2026) then that would give it a total time frame of 6 yrs...
Well maybe if we're using FT-1 concept to J29 :lol:, but the LF-A, LF-CC, and LF-LC concepts did a pretty good job at previewing the production LFA, RC, and LC imo.
Tada-san has said in many interviews that there are manual prototypes that are testing.
However, just because there are prototypes doesn't mean that it will make production.
Case in point:
Convertible, shooting brake, hybrid, and turbo versions of the 86 were also confirmed to have working...
Of course, but it's still a rare car never less. Especially this trim level. Not mention that overall less LHR cars were produced. As you said, a car is worth what the buyer is willing to folk over.
