Just thought I'd stir the pot and see how long this thread can go on before people get upset...

Seems to me there are a lot of "the glass is half empty" people who think Toyota can't get it right anymore. poor Toyota, not even their fans think they are any good anymore.
Selling cars can be profitable in the niche market, you just need to get the marketing and design right. Back in the late eighties the world (read US) was ripe and ready for an affordable and capable convertable. Mazda brought out the MX5, Ford brought out the Capri. We all know what happened to the Capri (although I always liked the Tickford Clubsprint, thats what the Capri should have been from the start) and the MX5 is (if I'm not mistaken) the biggest selling sports car in history. Tell me they're not making a profit. Not just on the MX5 but the whole backbone of Mazda's sales and the "zoom-zoom" shit is based on everyones associating "Mazda" and "Sportscar".
All they did was copy the Lotus Elan, didn't re-invent the wheel or anything, just the right car at the right time. With worldwide interest in driting skyhigh at the moment maybe now is the time for Toyota to release a RWD drift/race style car (maybe launch it with a one-make limited modifications allowed drift competition series).
Just needs proper market research, proper design and proper marketing. Something AE86ish in design and concept, with an S2000 style (C/R 6spd 9000RPM 250hp etc.) drivetrain.
GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS TOYOTA!
Mazda has, rotary
Nissan has, Z car
Ford has, retro 'stang
GM has, Commodore (how long are they going to persist with pushrods for?)
Porsche has, Cayman
Kia has, more shit coming soon...

Julian.
