Highway racer not needed either. Thank you.

Toyota is going to produce whatever makes them $$$. If they think turbo will sell better than NA then they may go that route. Right now, it doesn’t look that way, my preference is in the minority.
The concept is already pretty far removed from the original AE86 anyway. A true reincarnation would be what Nissan did about 15 years ago when they refurbished a bunch of old 280z’s with left over factory parts and sold them through select dealers.
Bottom line, my money’s as good as yours so Toyota should be listening to both of us.
