When we get into mass produced sporty production cars from big brands, the engineers working on a car usually as in the case of the 86 were working on economy cars previously. I think this car was a low risk proving ground for Toyota.
Tada San for example, was given free range to do whatever and he came up with something fun and basic and here we are.
But Tada San is no Andreas Preuninger, and that's why someone would buy a 911 etc for that level of engineering.

I agree with this but it's not entirely about the competence of the engineers. It's got a lot to do with the budget they're working with, as well.
Btw... that story you told in the OP is a lot like when you see an absolutely stunning girl. You might think, "wow, she is flawless. no man could resist that."
But you know there's some dude somewhere who is completely fed up with her bullshit.
You know what? That gets me thinking... maybe you two just need to spend some time apart. Leave her at my place for a little while! I'll wine her, dine her... maybe re-route some of that plumbing you've been having trouble with
When you get her back, she'll feel like a new car!
