I don't think Tada-san has any relationship with the GR Yaris or other rally car. He is retired. Maybe you confused him with someone else.

Oh, yes, I am confusing people. Tada-san =/= Akio Toyoda. But I think my point still stands. Toyota has moved onto projects that are more exciting and probably a better use of engineers and staff. Let Subaru own the development process entirely.

Correct, Tada-san is not involved in gen 2 86/BRZ at ALL. None, nada, zip, zero! They were in same building, but he was involved in Supra by the time gen 2 started. A lot of Toyota staffs who worked on gen 1 have quit, retired or deployed to different projects, so Toyota won't have any staffs who help build gen 1 won't be there help develop gen 2. Plus Subaru have different idea in mind for gen 2 anyways. This isn't 100% sure, but from what I'm heard (both inside & outside), it was part of the deal, for gen 2, Subaru will be involved more than Toyota. Both staffs will be involved, but a lot of decision will be made by Subaru. This is why I was upset with a lot of stupid decisions made by them (can't say). Funny part is, they backed out of some of decision and actually went back redone a lot of things correctly... but some of decision made me SMH. ...but again, Toyota won't be losing much from not involving in gen 2. In reality, they can even axe next gen 86 and let Subaru keep making gen 2 BRZ themselves won't hurt Toyota one single bit (which was in discussion inside for a long time... so I heard). All they need to do is, tell Supra team to make MT option and you got yourself better BRZ alternative. With all said and done, I don't know all the detail specs of next gen, but if everything I heard is correct, it could be a nice car. Better? Questionable, maybe to some ppl. As for me, I'm happy with my current twin & won't trade it in for next gen. |

Well.. some of us took the same decision. To keep the existing cars or even swap to a latest manufacturing year car. This doesn't mean I am not happy seeing that the next generation will happen after all. I really hope the best to the next generation. Who knows.. Maybe people will like it and even make the same success of the current generation. Maybe it 'll be an even better car with a better torque curve in mid range that so many people want. Either we like it or not it doesn't matter. From my point of view it is better to see a next generation, than axe the project.
