    It's a shame about the timing of this one, because I like the Toyota brand, and would love to own an MR2, but instead, I looked at Subaru and Mazda, and ultimately chose Hyundai (well, we'll see once they have a supply to try out - they keep selling out...) or if that falls through, Mitsubishi for my sports car needs.
    I'd have loved a modern spiritual successor to the AE86... hopefully the GenCoupe will fill that niche well enough and then some.

    "Toyota planned to develop an affordable, fun-to-drive sports car in the next few years but did not elaborate. "
    As opposed to somewhat expensive, boring, family cars???? What's he implying???
    Toyo builds all kinds of fun to drive cars, wait....... Nevermind!

    I'm disappointed by how the future tense is used. If they're planning to develop it, we've got a few years to wait.

    On the plus side, I woke up to find a star on my name. Yays!

    He only got the job because of his name.

    In reply to Exotic Car Rental: Cheaper Than Owning, But Can You Trust It?
    The real question is: can they trust YOU?


    Anyway, I think cars are much cooler when you own them: you can only rightfully show off what you've earned. Sure buying is a lot more expensive: depreciation, insurance, tax etc. but the whole idea of owning a supercar is to show off that you can afford it all!

    @Dhillaz: Sometimes it's not about showing off. I'd be willing to bet with most Jalops that it's all about the experience. Everyone deserves to experience an exotic car at least once in their lifetime, even if they can't afford to own one.
