Doesn't look bad, but I'll stick to coupes

On this question...I really don't care too much mostly because I don't think I'll want a convertible and go for the hardtop coupe instead. If there's a market for it though and it will help sell more...I wouldn't mind it since the car looks great either way.

Toyota should build the coupe first and gauge the market's reaction to it.

no, don't build the drop top.Stick to a purpose-built car. Leave the drop top to the is250. I'd be fine with a targa top, or top similar to that of the FT-HS.

Dear Toyota,

please build this, a Supra, an MR2, and a Cressida.


Sincerely,

Every loyal Toyota enthusiast.

The best thing about those 4 vehicles is, it would return Toyota to having RWD cars instead of just trucks. To see the return of Toyota's sports lineup and also return the true flagship cars(Supra and Cressida) would be a very good day for Toyota.

Those cars are most certain to set Honda as the world's most boring car maker which makes me very happy.
