So many fanboi quotes in this thread that aren't even worth acknowledging.

Or maybe Toyota wants their own Z2 or Z4 - something to replace the now departed MR2.

So for the second time, BMW will have to draw on another companies expertise to bring a supercar to the table.
Was kinda hoping one day they'd show they were capable of developing one all by their lonesome.

Seeing as how Toyota doesn't have anywhere near the advanced electronics that BMW does, I doubt they will be able to improve reliability...

Just because BMW told all their customers that the HPFP issue didn't exist for several years doesn't mean that it wasn't true.

Not sure why Lexus would dilute the value/uniqueness of the LFA by sharing it's spectacular engine with BMW?

BMW M has betrayed its heritage by going FI, but Toyota has just brought out the new GT86 with a NA engine and no BMW M engine is as "M" as the V10 of the LFA.
Think that BMW/Toyota sportscars would be like :
- more powerful GT86
- more affordable LFA
- more true sportscars from BMW (one M3 is not enough)
Hybrid really is the near futur technology. Just look at the 918 Spyder. i8 is not a true sportscar. Also hybrid tech permits sportscars to keep their high revving naturally aspirated engines, instead of going forced induction and losing character and emotion like the McLaren MP4-12C or M5/M6 F1X. Just think of some FMR sportscar with the NA V10 and electric engines at the rear axle ? No more "lacking" torque, right weight distribution better fuel economy.

Stop making sense. You can't talk positively about other marques on a BMW forum don't you know?
