More to the point, if you [Toyota] don’t make a car of this sort you’re really going to be letting a lot of people down, and/or pissing a lot of people off. You had numerous great cars, and now you build for the elderly. Really, the genesis coupe is quite beatable. If you keep the weight down below 3k, and can give us a 2.0-2.2l turbocharged powerplant with rear-wheel drive, many will thank you. Do yourself a favor.

If Toyota executives reading this:

“I know you manufacture cars that sells in million and make as much as money possible out of those, but please make at list real sports car even if you make a little loss. I am a die hard Toyota fan but I am disappointed as there is no real sports car in your line up. Best of wishes”

Tanner Faust’s RWD Scion tC is a good example of what Toyota should’ve done to save them going to all that trouble!

You know,it would be really nice to see a comeback of the Japanese entry level sportser. The Celica,the original RX-7,and Nissan Silvia models,I know they weren’t called that here in the U.S.. Even something like the Corolla SR-5 from the 80’s were pretty cool sporters.

STJ: It’s hard to say yes or no, but if Toyoda has his way this car should be out by 2012, maybe in time for a economic revival?

Nissan should follow suit and continue with their compact sports car but if I were to bet on either one, Toyota would be the favorite simply because their current line up needs something like this so badly… and the LF-A.
