worked for Nissan with the 350Z and G35 ( in reverse). Why not share platform? Then you have a sports car and a sedan that people actually like to drive. The FRS is for kids. We need something sporty from Toyota for men.........Supra anyone

Well the Supra is not a sedan you know.. You're talking about two different things--a compact lightweight RWD sedan a la the Altezza, and the Supra, a mid-sized 2-door sports car.

LOL I thought that would be pretty obvious. Making comments on both bro. We need a desirable RWD sedan from Toyota and a RWD sports car with more *****. Can't get any clearer than that

Same here, the rendering is no good but, I like the idea

Cheap, small, RWD, fun to drive, 4 door coupe with Toyota/Subaru reliability and quality? What is not to like? This could be huge.

Toyota has the money and is in bad need of jazzing things up a bit. Buyers today want more than reliability. Inspire us Toyota dont just get us to work on time and with no headaches
