Seriously though, Toyota needs something slick, sporty & rwd, aand anything based off the FF iQ platform will not be that. I'm content to wait for what the Toyubaru coupe has to offer, It should appear at the Tokyo autoshow.
dang it, i took interwebz sarcasm serious again

yes, a RWD coupe would be awesome. HOpefully they'll follow through with the Subaru/Toyota concept.

Actually europe is not all baddddd beside gas cost $7 a gallon. but hey at least they got the autobaun and an awsome version of Focus RS not like the sissie one we have over here (i rather not caught dead in it), now that's more convincing of a sportcar when we are downsizing not to over exagerating but this creampuff can outrun the Ford GT, and if we can get them to cross the pond, and only if anyone at all is behind the wheel of the Ford Company.
Ps. Ford better listen up! because we are witnessing Toyota is attempt stealing this market segment.

I love when people make excuses for Toyota saying stuff like "we are getting the LF-A"....lets get real, I bet less then 1% of anybody on this board can afford a car like that costing over $300k...so really are WE getting anything?

Could be good. Imagine if it's a lightweight RWD coupe like the AE86 was but smaller. That'll still be fun to drive, no? (think Miata or MR2)
