There have been no spy shots or prototypes at car shows, which I think also confirms the early stage of the development process. Other than Toyota and Subaru's announcement of 'working on it', all that's been seen are drawings by questionable sources, which isn't worth the paper it's printed on (or the electrons used to create the digital images).
A lot can happen in 3-4 years. A global recession (which is likely, led by the US) could tank sports car sales (as it has every other time it's happened), and could cause them to delay or shelve the project. Bottom line, I don't think anyone should hold their breath for the new car showing up at dealers anytime soon.

A global recession led by China you mean. More specifically Hong Kong even.
