Take the Sienna, chop it, lower it, and throw a bigger engine in it you've got a Supra Wagon.

The hip term is "shooting brake"!

Do people still seriously think the mk2 is happening? I don’t. I suspect Covid might kill the project, or at least, heavily delay it. The world is likely entering into a prolonged economic recession and affordable new sportscars are probably the least likely products to go ahead from conservative companies like Subaru and Toyota. Priority will go to the bread and butter mainstream models in the effort to remain profitable. I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong, but there it is.

Well, no one has ever accused me of being hip, but I concede your point.

Let's assume for argument's sake that nothing was wrong with our economy (lol) before COVID, But COVID broke the rickety scaffolding supporting the economy. Not Wall Street, the real economy. A 20-25% unemployment rate will take years to recover from. Most employers that reduced their workforce will find that they can operate fine without hiring all those positions back. This will take YEARS to bounce back from.

There was a day when you could do a complete engine or even transmission rebuild using nothing but a single book. There was no need for detailed videos or hundreds of different sets of instructions. The Haynes manuals cost about $8 or there were books available from the library. That is if some jerk didn't check it out, not return it and then find it in his basement 45 years later.

Looks like they unveil about 2 season before release...by that I would've expected the new twin reveal in winter of 2020...before the outbreak....
