This was all also pre covid era, which - as you know - is the great human species killer of our time. I'm hard pressed to believe that the next gen car isn't (at the very east) postponed given the huge shift in the world economy over the last 4-6 months.
its been like 10 months. do you guys really expect Toyota to release a statement every few months regarding future products? you guys do know that almost 3 years went by without a press release from the time we saw the FT1 concept in Detroit to the Supra racing concept in Geneva.

i didn't say the Sienna and Venza weren't higher production vehicles. just saying that the internet was right. correct, COVID has charged a lot of things. but if the road map is to believed we're just a year away from sales. which probably also means they are pretty far into the R&D. Toyota still went through the with the LFA development despite the 2008 financial crisis.
