Its not just the outright bans, its the amount that restrictions are tightening from 2025 for those places without bans - your looking at luxury cars (where they can pay money to be dirty) and hybrids and ultra small turbo engines being the only place where ICE will exist. Then that ending mostly in 2030, and then completely by 2035.

These models aren't made for volume, they are made as icons for the brand. They wont re-engineer it that fast correct, they will just stop it.

My guess is that a rebooted Celica (outed recently in trademarks) is the electric model they are planning to take over the low cost sports car segment for them.
Boom.
