I don't know if this has already been posted/discussed. Found this link on one of another FT site. Should be some glimmer of hope for some of us older pre-2011 members (since most are avid Toyota fans). Take from it what you will. I have no idea how reliable the news is. Just thought it was worth sharing. Possible higher performance version maybe?

Here's the quote in question:

"Toyota is considering adding a sports car derived from the FR-S concept to its U.S. lineup, Bob Carter, U.S. group vice president, said today in New York, without elaborating."

Don't know if it was just a poor choice of words and that VP meant to simply confirm the FR-S for the NA market, or he really does mean that Toyota is considering a version of their own...
