Ford's getting back into passenger cars

Toyota joins up with Ford to make a sports car?

Re-badged Supra anyone?

It might be one of the only ways to make sports cars economically viable in the future. The mk5 supra got a lot of hate out of the gate but it seems to have a cult following now. Stock for stock, I like the baseline car a lot more than a mk4 lol.

As someone who is kinda in the Toyota world, it isn’t happening. lol. Rumors are pointing towards them trying to do things more on their own.

Dang it lol. Well I guess we'll see who they ended up partnering with, VW mostly likely but we could be surprised.

When Farley was originally made ceo, I thought there could’ve been some type of connection, but that hasn’t happened. There was some wishful thinking that we would at least see Toyota help in addressing some of the quality stuff.

I just read up on some of the VW stuff you were saying, do you think it could result in a cool product???

There's a VW platform that could be used on a new fiesta, I can see them making some interesting variants of that for sure.

What small car has Ford came out with in recent history that was exciting, other than the Focus RS?

Fiesta ST

Ford are using their own new EV small car platform for that.

That's what I'm thinking as well. That platform is apparently super impressive and can underpin something like 8 different body styles. We know it's not gonna be used on larger vehicles, and we know the first vehicle using that platform will be a midsized truck with about a 30k starting price.

I've heard about a boxy suv, a crossover, and a van, as well as a sedan. But that still leaves 3 different vehicles.

Maybe a compact hatch, a midsized hatch, and if we're really lucky, some sort of coupe?

For Europe I think it will be for the Fiesta replacement.
