I don't agree. They would not be selling these cars if they did not make money on them. No one is looking at an 86 and then buying a Camry.

Do they print money like the corolla/rav4/camry? No. ...

After the launch of the Supra, I am expecting a modest 210 HP N/A FA24 with more torque. Similar to what Honda did with the Si back in 2012 going from K20 ->k24.
