[C-Pike]

Slightly off topic, but didn't the A70 and A80 also share a lot of components?

Similar in design, but components are largely bespoke.

i was under the impression that a lot of parts were borrowed from the Soarer/SC

 

[MA617M]

Some components are common with Z30 yes

The MKIV used the core chassis and especially the front and rear subframes from the Soarer Z30 as a starting point. Some other components from the MKIII were used in the early test mules but a lot of those things became bespoke MKIV parts by the production ready stage.

The earliest MKIV test mules looked mostly like MKIII's on the outside but were heavily modified with the Soarer Z30 front and rear subframes.

Thats all the YooTooberZ do now - reference other videos and the same piece of information and act like they just discovered the Ark of the Covenant.

you think Toyota has had any luck with IDrive7?

So the next Camry is reportedly going to be a heavily updated version of the current car. Most likely new sheet metal and interior. Toyota sells about 300k a year in the US. If Toyota is taking this approach towards its bread and butter then I don't think it's that crazy to think a niche product like the next-gen A100 will be constructed the in a similar manner.

If you are implying the next generation of Supra will ride on a similar platform, I would say I would agree. To make money from these sales they had to co-develop with BMW and even then the life cycle is likely long to recoup the costs.

Maybe the next Camry will now get the AWD option paired with the more powerful engine this time.

Toyota bungled that opportunity with the Avalon before it was killed off so maybe now that no-brainer type of configuration will now fall onto their sole midsize sedan for the U.S. market.

They'd need to renew their contract with Magna if the next-gen Supra will be a heavy revision of the current gen.. unless you think the production elsewhere..

Haven't they basically moved everything to Motomachi?
