So you think that despite the inevitable shift to your favorite type of new mode of transportation (BEV's), Toyota should spend millions in development costs to develop a V8??

This is no different than saying that Blackberry (going back 10 years when the writing was on the wall with the shift to smartphones that are more software focused - iPhone) should have spent a ton of money and develop another Hardware focused phone.
