I HATE hybrids with a passion. Hopefully, there will be multiple variants from which to choose and not solely a hybrid powertrain. One also has to wonder what kind of price bracket whatever said "sports cars" would occupy being that they're going to be developed with a premium car maker?

I remember an interview with Tada-san where he mentioned the desire to have Toyota's sports car portfolio include two more vehicle types beyond the 86: a smaller sports car and a large sports coupe. As the latest 6 series has just come to market that rules out some sort of an "all-new" platform for a Supra type car, unless Toyota wishes to use that platform to hang it's reputation for reliability on? However, there's definitely the room to collaborate on that "smaller" sports car, like the aforementioned "Z2" that has been rumored about for some time. Of course this is all speculation and whatever "sports cars" to be born of this collaboration won't be seen for a while, but then again that's speculation too.
