New Toyota CEO Confirms Production of Sportscar
TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan - Toyota Motor Corp. will produce a fun but affordable sports car as the world's largest automaker seeks a return to profitability with vehicles that meet customers' desire for fuel efficiency without sacrificing style.
Company president Akio Toyoda on Wednesday announced plans for the new car — a joint venture with Subaru — while outlining his strategy for reversing the company's sales and income slide and charting a long-term course designed to appeal to new generations of motorists.
He also said the company has not decided the future of a California manufacturing plant that it operated jointly with General Motors, which announced in June it was abandoning the 50-50 venture as it emerges from bankruptcy protection.

Does that picture actually accompany the article or did someone just dig up a sketch of the next gen concept Toyota Soarer? I wouldn't think Toyota would partner with Subaru if they were simply planning to bring the Soarer stateside.

Have you read the comments?
Good for Hyundai. Toyota is running scared of the Koreans (with good reason), so here goes the Genesis coupe fighter.
