I think they MAY use the Lexus LF-LC platform, which itself is very closely related to the LS platform.

Toyota can probably leverage whatever they want from the platform based on them owning a sizable stake in FHI, Subaru's parent company. I think the IS coupe (RC?) will be the basis for any of the larger rear drive cars in the line up. Not really sure there's a market for a smaller rear drive car, the cost is prohibitive with rear drive. |

And who really wants a new Supra to be based on the LS... Its pretty much the same size as the RC. Come on, its common sense. |

The GS was also based of the same platform. Therefore a lot of parts are interchangeable between all 4 models.

Toyota goal for FT-1 is $50k-$60k. It would make more sense to use a cheaper S platform that is used for the RC/IS/GS. Last edited by vh_supra26; 04-22-2014 at 07:18 PM. |
