The chief engineer of the 86, Tetsuya Tada, told Drive there is room for a three-tier sports-car line-up in the Toyota range, with one car sitting below the 86 and one above it, the latter possibly being a successor to the iconic Supra.

Agree. The Veloster is an example of a very capable bit of kit that augurs well for the future of Korean products. When I test drove the non turbo version available at the time (cross shopping hatches with the gf) I considered it ahead in virtually all categories (except visibility) at the price point. It's a clear sign to me that Korean product development systems are humming and that must surely be a focal point for Japanese manufacturers. It might not be long before the negative image associated with Korean products will be a thing of the past.
