you forget that Toyota owns Lexus.

But toyota themselves have nothing but the GT86. Plus the proper sporty lexus's are ridiculously expensive

true, but most other companies aren't doing much better.

Even Kia and Hyundai do sporty cars. Toyota has no excuse, they need something to fill that space

that's true, but the difference is, Kia and Hyundai don't own other brands. Toyota has Scion (FR-S, tC,  which just got canned) and Lexus,(GS, IS, RC, LFA). 

 

Toyota is the middle brand. buyers want dependable, reliable grocery getters. If I was toyota, I'd have Scion take the sporty cars too. that way they can afford to take risks and make mistakes without damaging the reputation of their main brand.

This needs to happen http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/news/a29111/the-toyota-86s-lead-engineer-wants-a-performance-division-to-rival-m-and-amg/ could lead to some future cars made by toyota to actually be fun.

they kinda already have that with TRD and the Lexus F division... just that all they're doing with it is selling overpriced accessories and putting gazillion speed auto's in them.  what they really need to do is get off the stubborn/lazy asses and develop a proper DSG box to compete in that market...

Just wait...

naw, like I said above, they're all about the gazillion speed auto's...

But toyota used to make sports cars, decent ones at that.

I almost see one every time I go out for a drive. They aren't that rare here in Swedenland.

true, but that was before they had Scion, and mostly before they had lexus. Now that Scion is no more, the Toyota brand does need some sporty cars. Namely something to replace the tC.

I want to say knock-off. But a fairly good one.

 

Also. I don't think a real one would EVER be transported on something rented from U-Haul...

[warmmilk]

Its happening!!!

Its got the wrong wing to be a GTR, definitely looks like a GT tho, maybe real, maybe fake.

Never actually had a problem with it not working even since the update.  Strange..

 

So in car related posts, I pissed off yet another person. They decide to tailgate me while I'm doing 15 in an apartment complex, I decide to do 2 and sit in the middle of the road.

 

Wah wah, stop being a dick.
