Doubt they'd go that route, they have SUV's and crossovers already that serve the purposes.
I would wager a guess they're waiting on how the Supra sales turn out to determine what they want to do with the 86. Im also guessing that being a collaboration car, it might complicate things a little as they'd have to figure out if they want to take over the project strictly in house or keep collaborating (whether with Subaru again or with someone else).
Akio Toyoda wants a 3 sports car lineup and the Supra most likely cannot replace the 86 in its segment (lowest end Supra still likely costs a bunch more than GT trim 86.....might overlap with a TRD edition though)
I suppose if they go in house it'd be on the TNGA platform...which they only have 2 RWD variants currently...the ones used for the Lexus cars (likely off limits to mere Toyota badged models) and one used for the Toyota Crown (if they can scale that down to 86 size...).
