I don't think there will be a 2nd gen BRZ if Toyota doesn't need Subaru's production line anymore. The 86 should get another round to co-exist with the next Supra, and supposedly a 3rd sports car to round out the lower end in order to complete the trio (I keep thinking MR2 here).
It will probably make more sense to marketing if Subaru then utilizes the freed up production capacity to do an Alcyone (meaning a true sports flagship with AWD) for a 3rd time. But I really hope Subaru gets a new head stylist first and maybe bring back frameless windows to the entire lineup for starters (the current lineup is so ugly it makes even the Leone looked fantastic in comparison).

I'm with you. Toyota is working on more sportscars, makes sense to get a own production line.
And things did cool between Toyota and Subaru, remember the FT86 Open Prototype they showed in 2013... Toyota didn't tell Subaru, they found out by seeing the car at the motor show
