That's just the thing. It's not the cars, it was the brand. You are looking at it as if the whole buyer base were enthusiasts. They aren't. Adding those cars would not have achieved what Toyota wanted, by no means whatsoever. By the time Scion came about, The Supra had ceased to exist. The Celica (a really legitimate to the Integra at the time... pity the never made a GT4) was on it's way out, as was the MR-2 (Girly as the spider was, it really is a great drive and an excellent tuner platform). Why? Nobody was buying them, not even the demographic that they wanted.
yeeyha someone else has my point of view on the MRS (apart that i said i dont consider it a sports car, thats probably cus i dont like it aesthetically) im very bad at expressing my self over the internet but, im ESL to the max here
not just toyota, most car companies didnt have a "sports" car in the past decade (bar honda but they were mostly FF so not exactly all round performers)
problem is the 350z was a beautiful sports car (apart the door handles) but it was damn to expensive for the younger driver and bad for the lower back to the older driver :p
