Eh not really interested in plug in hybrid. If you’re gonna go EV, go EV. This is just a place holder while Toyota figures out full EV.

looks great ?

but wish it gas only. 6spd manual is a plus. gonna wait and see what others details come out...

I think you misread that. They were referring to the Z as manual, I believe.

It looks as if I'll be holding on to my Z32 just a wee bit longer...

the real question is will it have snap oversteer lol jk

 

[Bobcat]

IDK, it could be interesting...depending on what price point they end up being.

If anything, I appreciate that a) Toyota is keeping some focus on RWD 2-doors and b) they're exploring how to make hybrid/EVs fun.

Definitely following this development, let's see if they can make it light enough, hybrid power is heading in the right direction to full EV.

But man, that looks like an Audi R8, I think an MR2 design should have more identity of past gens.

If it happens, it is years away, and is going to cost Supra prices, not Z prices. Irrelevant as competition.

Looks like it might be built by Lotus. Count me out. I much prefer Japanese reliablity.

I’ll believe it when I see it on the streets

Toyota teaming up with Lotus is not a bad thing. I have seen several "Lotus" tuned cars in my years of working on cars. They've never been more than handling tuning. It's not like Lotus has much to offer Toyota.
