I don't think it will have direct competitors. Too expensive for Miata . Maybe an Alfa or Elise competitor but much cheaper? Who knows should be interesting.

Interesting. The Miata starts at 33k if I recall correctly in Canada.

It is clickbait. You pictured the vehicle (SFR) that was referenced as the third member of the potential "trio" in an actual interview with Toyota execs (Including Tada). Not sure where they pulled this MR thing out of. Some unqualified "quotes" and a render do not constitute fact.

Another case of a journalist pulling something out of his ass.
No source, no press release, and contradicts the SFR news. |

I'll eat my hat if the Supra comes out lighter than a 911. And lighter than a Cayman...why bother imagining because there's no chance in hell of that happening. And the excuse about not giving the GT86 more power is BS. There's a very wide hole to fill between 400+ hp from a Supra and the 205 the GT86 has. That's like saying the Camaro would never get a V8 because Chevy doesn't want it stepping on the toes of the Corvette. As others have mentioned, most logical answer here is that the whole article is BS.

I like this a lot. Personally I think the MR2 should take the 86's position and then up the 86's refinement and possibly power. Then let the Supra be the god-teir car.

MR2 would have to go between the 86 and Supra. The 86 makes more sense being the lower end sports car and the SFR the odd car out. I just can't see the SFR being that cheap without being bad or hurting 86 sales. The MR2 as the middle child allows for better spacing in the lineup.

Jesus even gymratter recognizes this is clickbait.
Depends on if BMW spends money on weight reduction or something else, the last Z4 clocks in under 3,300 lbs in base trim, if Mazda can drop weight off their previous roadster I'm sure the Germans could too, and they're getting a Toyota cash infusion. The 911 is nearly 3,200 lbs according to Porsche's website, only about 100 lbs to cut out of a luxury convertible to make the mark. It's more possible than anything else discussed in this thread. |
