I wouldn't read into it too much. I'm still just sitting here waiting to see any concrete proof that a new car is still being developed. Any spy shots of a new vehicle being driven/tested? Ya know.. like we saw with the original car like 3yrs before it was even released.

When they dropped the new IS they kind of touted this track as its proving ground. There was never any IS spy shots prior to the car launch (except a mysterious shrunken LS looking test mule of some kind) so my guess would be alot of the R&D work will now be done at this track, away from prying eyes. I imagine that theres going to be alot fewer toyota based product spy shots floating around. |

I’ll maintain my skepticism until I see something official. I figured people would have learned by now to not treat automotive blogs as gospel, but it seems we’re still riding that train in 2020.

This was all also pre covid era, which - as you know - is the great human species killer of our time. I'm hard pressed to believe that the next gen car isn't (at the very east) postponed given the huge shift in the world economy over the last 4-6 months.

i didn't say the Sienna and Venza weren't higher production vehicles. just saying that the internet was right. correct, COVID has charged a lot of things. but if the road map is to believed we're just a year away from sales. which probably also means they are pretty far into the R&D. Toyota still went through the with the LFA development despite the 2008 financial crisis. Last edited by gymratter; 07-03-2020 at 03:40 PM. |

You're obviousy going to believe whatever you want to believe, and that's fine. We're now 1 year away from the supposed launch of the next gen car. It's been almost a year since Toyota and Subaru announced a continued partnership in the automotive industry, and it's been ~5 months since that powerpoint slide was leaked, and there has yet to be any real concrete info. I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong when the time comes. I'd love to see the car continue and be a success. But given the track record of what I've seen here for almost a decade now regarding new vehicle rumors, I have my doubts.

all im saying is we have a PR, early spyshots, and a road map. i understand where you are coming from, but we also dont have any statements from Toyota saying that the 2nd gen is canned. right, because as Sasquachulator stated, Toyota has their own testing track. hence why we didn't see any spy shots of the 2021 Lexus IS, but it still happen. Toyota didn't release monthly statements about it and here it is. yes sir, i think we're just going to have to agree to disagree and revisit this topic at a future time. |

I'm really not arguing either way, as I think either path could be correct. In the end, I don't have any skin in this game because it's not on my personal roadmap for my next car. I love my 86, but there won't be a MK2 for me.
