But it'll yet again be another badge-sharing exercise with someone else. I wonder who'd be their target partner?
it would have to be a mid-engined platform... is there anything out there right now that might fit?

But it'll yet again be another badge-sharing exercise with someone else. I wonder who'd be their target partner?
Toyota owns partial stakes in Daihatsu, Subaru, and Isuzu, has a long history of partnering with General Motors, and, obviously, recent history of partnering with BMW.
None of them have anything similar to those that I can think of off the top of my head.
If Toyota wants to bring the Celica back as an AWD, Subie would once again be a natural choice for the partnership. Base it off a future gen WRX, make it a bit shorter, and we can once again get back into a 2 door, 2+2 coupe type of vehicle. A win-win for both Toyota and Subie.
For a shared MR platform, it would be awesome if Honda can somehow be persuaded into collaborating with Toyota. But given Honda's corporate behaviour and preferences, I really don't see them wanting to partner with anyone, and least of all with Toyota.
Don’t Honda, Nissan, and Toyota all pretty much hate each other?
I'm reasonably certain that there is a general mutual hatred at the corporate level between Toyota and Honda, but Nissan almost definitely have a much friendlier relationship with Toyota. The two have formed licensing deals that allow Nissan to use Toyota's hybrid technology.
Of course, I am not aware of any Nissans running any form of Toyota's hybrid gear, but the deal is there.
side profile of the window looks pretty much like the brz/gt86 just with abit flatter roof line. I predict this will be a disappointment with probably an outrageous price tag because of having the name supra in it.
