Toyota has a new partner, BMW, which like Toyota and Honda, for a long time didn't have any true sports car. The co-developped platform will underpin all Toyota/Lexus and BMW sports cars, with exception of the Lexus LFA II.

yup, switching to a modular platform makes tons of sense. VW group has done this. Mercedes is also going to a modular platform with the next SLK, SL, and ect. it would save both time and money when developing a new sports car.
