I suspect the main reason for doing this was because of the massive interest the Twins generated - they didn't want to miss the party.

Now it looks like the party wasn't much of a party from a business perspective (those of us already in the party are thoroughly enjoying ourselves, mind you).
A small affordable sports car a niche market. Toyota owns most of that market together with the MX-5. No place for rivals, because if place, low sales for all so not profitable. IMO sports car should not be profitable, just not make any loss.
