QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jan 15, 2014 - 10:17 AM)  well it started as a celica / supra I'm well aware that the Supra was a spin off of the Celica platform. The point was you don't go from a 2500 pound car with a TT rotary making 255hp and getting to 60mph in 5 seconds to a 3200 pound car with a N/A rotary making 180 (or whatever) and getting to 60MPH in around 8 seconds as a successor. You don't go from a car that was built to compete with the top Cobra Mustangs, SS Camaro's and Corvettes of the day, and revive it to compete with a non-SI civic... You come out with a different platform like toyota/subaru did if you're looking at targeting a younger crowd with a less expensive sporty vehicle. If you try to just "continue the legacy" like Mazda did with the Rx-8 you'll end up with... the Rx-8... which after years of awful sales is now dead. It was billed and priced like a successor to the RX-7 but without any of the performance. Nissan is doing things the right way (350/370z) but I'm upset that it's taken Toyota and Mazda so long to get back to the big 3 of the early 90's with the Supra/300ZX/RX-7. Build a proper sports can and price it accordingly. This post has been edited by cardshark525: Jan 15, 2014 - 11:44 AM |

you think toyota looses sleep over these posts. LOL..
they can do and will do whatever they want. just like they downsized the mr2 to a crappy spyder they downsized the celica idea of big car, awd, to the last 7th gen, that was just a no no.. just like they downplayed the toyota 86 to a scion frs they are not going to invest millions of dollars to get out a car, if they know it will not sale like hotcakes... Scion is like a waffle house right now.... And player is right, more likely it will be a lexus.... and will replace the IS.. there is no way it will be a tree hugging toyota.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
