  1. Car's not even revealed in any official capacity yet. "You'll fail again..." - incorrect.

  2. Sato heads Gazoo Racing, so I think we don't have to worry too much about the "blandness" bit.

  3.  @naveenthemachine  - "I'd ignore Toyota for a while." I wouldn't suggest doing that for a long while. There's still the GR GT3 concept car (or whatever name the production version would take) looming on the horizon. I mean, why did Rookie Racing (the team that Akio have driving sessions with) decide to make use of a Mercedes-AMG GT3?

  4.  @jpnphom5470  - except an Aventador didn't exactly race in any competition AFAIK, compared to the Murcielago or the LFA. And speaking of the LFA, that car was tested more extensively on the Nurburgring. By thinking about the looks and calling them 'weak', your friend underestimated and failed to appreciate the cars' history, particularly in their participation in motorsports: the Supra just won the DTM Trophy last year and won Formula D two times, and the car was even driven by the then-CEO of Toyota himself during the 2019 24 Hours of Nurburgring to 3rd in-class. Honda (in its GT500 silhouette spec) won the 2018 Super GT championship with F1 champion Jenson Button being one of the two drivers behind the wheel, and the more recent championship win would be by Racers Edge in the GT World Challenge America Pro-Am class. As for the old anime, honestly you are also underestimating them.

  5.  @samuelforsyth6374  - except Toyota's "Z4" has done a lot more than at first glance (ran at the Nurburgring, won the DTM Trophy, won Formula D).

  6.  @naveenthemachine  - something tells us you haven't seen the rest of what Toyota is currently planning cough GR GT3 cough

  7.  @naveenthemachine  - then, can you explain why Rookie Racing (which now-former CEO Akio ran races with) decided to run an AMG GT3 for this year's Super Taikyu season? Does it ring a bell? Toyota is more than capable of making their own sportscars. One of the main issues is how many people are willing to fork the cash needed to get the car once the manufacturer prices it accordingly to recoup the costs of RnD.

  8. That's kinda debatable.

  9. The AE86 BEV (Levin body) and H2 (Trueno body) concept cars.

  10. "but made a mistake introducing turbo motors into their vehicles" - nowadays, turbos are the norm for many cars. It ain't a mistake given the current auto environment.

  11. Kinda debatable. Besides, there's the problem of infrastructure that needs similar focus for EVs to thrive properly. EDIT: Then, there is another issue of 3rd-world countries that don't have even the same level of infrastructure as the U.S.
