Don't think the "same but smaller" philosophy works here as they can just try to create the next gen of twins to be more versatile (drop top, rear seat delete, more engine options, etc) |

Not much to it, but at least it was an article:

Bumping this up, just because I'm pissed off they just let this well received gem die before it even got out the door...

If they had the SF-R on lots or even on the way right now (with a Toyota drivetrain) I'd be trading in the FR-S on the spot and buying the SF-R. Why does it have to be too much to ask to get a Toyota designed RWD coupe with a Toyota engine/transmission? :( |

Of course that could all change once the Dynamic force family rolls out in full (right now the new 4 bangers are the Camry 2.5L 203hp and the Corolla hatch 2.0L 168hp dynamic force motors. I think at this point theres still a few more motors to come to replace more of the non-dynamic force engines) and maybe some more manual transmissions (iThe corolla hatch might have the only new 6 speed manual....everything else seems to use carryover transmissions) Also the TNGA architecture...not sure if its setup for RWD applications in a small sized car (AFAIK the Crown and the Lexus products are RWD TNGA...but they're all pretty big cars utilizing it right now) |

Other than the specialty makes (i.e. Porsche) or the long timers (i.e. Corvette) the day of the individual manufacturer sports car is over. Even if the SF-R were to ever be made, which I doubt at this point, it would be in conjunction with somebody else. The costs to develop and build it independently are now just to high. If they made one all on their own and then wanted $80K for it instead of $30K would you still be interested? |

I think Toyota is afraid the S-FR and the 86 are too closely related, in terms of market. They're both small 4 cyl 2+2 coupes, blah blah blah... |
