Now I can send an article to that Porsche loving buddy of mine. He's joked with me about the MB-Lexus debate and now I can add this. I hope it reaches production though.

Sweet. I read on SF.com Toyota is working on a V10 for the Tundra. Toyota definetly could use the image boost.

..."the TXS has already been granted provisional production car status....Toyota bosses are waiting for the F1 programme to provide success before commencing production."
I guess the wait just has to go on. (When was the last time Toyota had a "success" in F1??)

They only recently entered F1, and are fairly competitve, not a winner but hanging on. Toyota isnt spending that kind of money just to be some doormat. Give them some time and within a yr or two they will become ultracompetetive

BTW that rumored V10 midengine supercar has been around for awhile. A platform like that should take 5yrs to develop, I can imagine it hitting streets not too soon.
