Here's the reality. The future plans for the FR-S were developed BEFORE the car was ever built. If this is a one and done model ... then that was the original plan REGARDLESS of what people may want. Manufacturers just don't willy nilly decide to make a convertible because people may want it. If it wasn't designed from the get go ... it isn't going to happen.

As for power ... if the ORIGINAL intent was to offer higher powered future models ... then the existing platform (chassis, transmission, axles, etc. ) would have been "over-engineered" for this purpose. In order to make money .... a single chassis would have been engineered to accomodate ALL future planned models.

Bottom line: only Toyota knows and obviously ... they are not going to let out the secret. What we say or want is going to have no impact on what has already been planned at the beginning.
