IMO, the less trim levels the better. There is no need for 5-6 different trim levels. IF the turbo is made, no more than 3 trim levels are necessary. An NA model, a Turbo model, and a stripped down track model if that's what the people want. But NA and Turbo as your two choices is just fine. If you want different things on the car, do it with options and accessories. Especially for a car that's supposed to be an entry level sports car... keep it simple.
A lot of Toyota's other enthusiast cars did just fine with just a few trim levels. Supra is either turbo or non turbo. MR2 is turbo or non turbo, SC or non SC. Of course there are some different roof options in there and other feature options but a Supra turbo is a Supra turbo. There's no need for a Supra turbo and Supra turbo targa.
5-6 trim levels are for Corollas and Camrys and stuff.
Then again, the JDM Supras had many trim levels with RZ, GZ, SZ, SZ-R, Twin turbo R, Twin Turbo limited, etc but really 2 or 3 is enough for one car which is how they were in the US.
That's just me. I'm just not caught up in the importance of so much nauseating nomenclature. I couldn't tell you the difference between a Civic dx, hx, fx, ex, XXX nor do I really care.
Sometimes less is more.
Excessive trim levels may be a good way for Toyota to bump up the price from the 'base' model to a trim level 2-3 trims higher and have a bunch of people paying a lot of money for a loaded up model. :shrug: I will probably be buying a base model anyway if I get one. Or if it's turbo, the basic turbo package.
