Where are people getting this? Toyota and Subaru have already officially announced they are developing the next gen twin. It’s in their forward corporate plan. Yes, there is always the possibility of the program being cancelled, but if you are betting with your own money, place it on the official manufacturer announcements rather than guesswork on forums.
I also don’t understand the claims that the twins are a sales failure. They have sold a lot of them, and certainly more than other cars like the 370Z. In fact, at least in Australia, they have sold about ten times more twins than Celicas and Supras combined, from what I’ve read. The twins provide Toyota in particular with a unique product at the price point, which has a reverse halo effect on their cooking models (obviously the new Supra provides a halo at the other end). I will be surprised and obviously disappointed if the new twins are cancelled.
