I don't see how that has to do with what I think you're trying to hint at. Higher execs are who determine the company's extended roadmap. Engineering's the peons that execute; R&D's the nerds that no one talks to except occasionally when they need to know if something can be done or if they've made some crazy breakthrough.

No mention of a second generation, but from other responses in the Q&A, he noted that Scion was happy (and surprised) by the sales numbers of a "$26k" car. This was in regards to questions about Scion having "luxury" offerings, so perhaps it means Scion isn't afraid to continue developing at that price point for cars like the FR-S.
