Right on...this is exactly what they planned. They make so much more money off of the Camry & Corolla & other bland cars that they pretty much used the funds of the 86 development as big marketing move that benefits enthusiasts. If people think Toyota is "losing" money they obviously don't know how rich & powerful they are.
