...in the development of the baby FR-S.

The design could take inspiration from the Toyota Sports 800.

Something about that car makes people smile, just by looking at it.

But I wonder how small it will really be, as it’s impossible for a modern car to be that tight, and meet all the safety regulations.

Toyota needs to stop getting help from other car makers.

Color it while and it’ll be mine.

why?

The cars they make by collaborating with other manufacturers are all great (well the Toyobaru is... I have high hopes for the Scion iA/Yaris Sedan).

Why? Seems like the only way they make anything cool these days.

It’s not help, it’s shared expertise.

When the Italians go to Mazda for their small, agile roadsters. You know how good Mazda is with small sports cars.

You know it’s bad when you start copying a copied car. It looks like a Geely Panda.

No, because when they try doing fun cars by themselves we get this.

Why? Is it because the Toyobaru twins are more fun than any Honda currently in production?

Hey I love Toyotas too. They used to make fun cars without the help of other manufacturers.

What’s that you were saying about being too small to pass regulations?

Not the same thing. That’s built around a whole different concept.

I'm just teasing, I like Honda. I stand by my statement though, they aren't producing anything I'd call desirable. Then again, the Japanese seem to have lost their way with exception to Subaru and Mazda who still make cheap fun to drive cars.

Fair enough.

Well I don’t know about Toyota but it looks like Honda is making a comeback. The next CRZ won’t be a hybrid!

FR-S and Miata’s baby. Aww so cute.

The current CRZ was a missed opportunity. If they made it more of a sports car it'd be awesome, the car already looks cool.

It’s getting a turbo-4 in leu of a hybrid system.

They should tune it to have some good power. Make it a competitor of the FiST or FoST (not sure which it would compete with).
