Read back in context of what the others said and see if you can spot my sarcasm. No they didn't say it was the end YOU did. Go back and read my post about the GT designation. Yes it is very curious to me.

Yes, as that is the most probable conclusion from all of this information. Do you really disagree? Really?

There is no "information" anyplace in that. It is just speculation based upon some random pages pulled off a forum. Even if the document is real there is nothing there that says the 86 is done and the Supra will replace it. Nothing.

Nobody has crowned me the "King" of anything except you. Not sure how or why this always has to come up in your arguments really. You started a speculative thread but the attempt to insult the intelligence of every single person that tries to make a point or disagrees with you? To much acid in the 60s mess you up a bit?

By your logic, why does Audi need an S3 when the S4 is less than $8k more? Why does Ford have a Fiesta ST when there is a Focus ST/RS? (Before you argue that they're getting rid of those models, they will still exist in other markets) Toyota has been saying it is their PRODUCT STRATEGY to go back to the 3-model sports car lineup they've been known for in the past. How does this not fit that? How does a sports car that presumably starts in the mid $30,000 range, if we are lucky, negate a different sports car, with different engineering/characteristics, that starts at $26,255? Also, Subaru would never have made the BRZ if Toyota hadn't approached them about it. And I find it HIGHLY unlikely they'd continue making the BRZ on their own, especially without the big bucks funding coming in from Toyota. Let alone invest millions into R&D into an upgraded version to compete with the Supra. Do you really think Subaru can afford to compete with the joint power and funding of BMW and Toyota using an older chassis that Toyota helped them develop? And what about WRX/STI sales? A car like that would be placed squarely in the same range as an STI.

Maybe not fake but not what it has been represented to be.

rvoll, I'm fully willing to admit you were right, if Toyota discontinues the 86 and says they did so because it didn't fit being placed below the Supra4 in their product strategy.

Also, why the hell did they even make the Yaris GRMN?! That makes no sense when you consider rvoll's principles of business strategy!
