Straight 6 supra would be nice. I would be all in for that car.

Lexus interior quality Lexus Navi BMW engine (preferrably the i8 electric engine) BMW handling BMW ergonomics Sounds like a car with a lot of potential....

Toyota and even more so, Honda can make great sports cars when:
1. They try to 2. It makes financial sense for them to put resources into making it instead of a people hauler The agreement with BMW means they can make a great car without the fear that a price tag over 35k will be too high for their consumers. I'd love a BMW sports car with Toyota reliability. |

I think the difference between both will be that the BMW (M?) will be more luxury focused with turbo engine and the Toyota more hard-core with NA engine. New RC-F has NA V8 whereas new M4 has FI 6.

You sound like an automotive racist. If you were to be objective you would realize that as the maker of the Lexus LFA, Toyota has stronger sports car credentials than BMW. BMW has traditionally been a sports sedan manufacturer not a sports car manufacturer.
This is a good link up.

If you want to say Toyota has stronger supercar credentials than BMW, fine. But sports cars overall? BMW wins that one hands down with the M lineup. Again, I don't really disagree. I'm really just substituting "sports car" for "supercar" and "sports sedan" for "sports car" in your post. |

Whatever the two companies decide to built, it better be unique or it just going to be waiste of money.
What does BMW needs from Toyota and what does Toyota need from BMW that neither companies can't accomplish on their own? Does Toyota needs BMW's engine and BMW needs Toyota's styling? And what is the price point of this joint sport car? |

BMWs sportscar credentials include: Z4 Z8 I8 840 and 850 M1 Toyota's Sportscar credentials include: Lexus LFA Scion FR-S Supra MR2 2000 GT So neither company has any recent experience building cars that take on the 911, Corvette or GTR. The LFA though is probably better IP than the Z4 or i8.

Honestly bringing up the Prius has absolutely nothing to do with Toyota's ability to make sportscars. The fact that you think it does indicates how your brain works, or to be more precise how your brain doesn't work.

I wonder if we'll see an "i" roadster concept. Wouldn't suprise me, I just hope its not the main focus. An appearance of BMW's investments in less expensive carbon fiber would be more welcomed...
