To me, this is hacking into their own product lines, it will get confusing. I'd like to see a RWD I-4 or V-6 sport coupe offered under the Toyota badging. Mid-range for the 16-40 YO car buyers. Better yet, turn the Solara into a RWD platform.

I agree...but that still isn't saying much, at least here in the U.S. market.

Yeah, I can see this doing well in Europe, but not here. BMW and Merc tried it and it didn't fly.

Good looking drawing.
I'm not sure if a new entry level model is the right way to go for lexus though.
