Toyota Engineer Confirms Two More Sports Cars In The Works

We sat down with Toyota 86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada during an international media event for the groundbreaking compact RWD sports car, and he shared with us some of his company's future product plans. According to Tada, the 86 is just the first of three sports cars that Toyota is planning to roll out, and that the 86 is the middle of the two in terms of market positioning.

"The first is more mass-market and cheaper than the 86," Tada revealed. "And the third is more upmarket than the 86."

Because Toyota is cheap and the MR2 was very complex and expensive.

It is not that Toyota couldn't do a better job, they just didn't and still don't want to do a better job. Toyota 20 years ago was a much more nimble company hungry for success. These days the bean-counters rule.
