I think that'd put a full stop in the speculation. Right from the horses mouth?

Did they write affordable in "" because the didn't want to say Cheap, or because they know that all sports cars are money holes where nuts like us sink $ after $ into mods? Or will the car just be downright costly out the door?

yeah see even if bloomberg said that they are canning the FT i would beleive them.. they are reliable and a lot of ppls money depends on bloomberg haha..
i think affordable as in cheap, but stil exhilirating.. like designed to be cheap, not a expensive car with cut corners, but a car that has the money spent where it needs and doesnt so that the dashboard doesnt have to be made of paper machee (bmw 1,3,5 series but thats just cus they wanted to make more money the fuckers, oh and i know its NOT papermache but it might as well be.. probs wouldnt sounds so hollow)
interesting how it talksa about a hybrind sports car (ie a sporty version of prius) you reccon its anthing along the lines of a HS or you reccon its just a prius with a lip kit and some rims?

That's been about since Toyoda took the reigns.

It's head up by their ex-F1 team principle.
