Chance of a Turbo Version in Next 2 Years?
Quote:
VW made way more of a loss on each Veyron, but they didn’t back down from making interesting cars. They made 500 LFAs vs 450 Veyrons. It’s rumored that Toyota lost 500.000 usd on each lfa, VW lost 6.24 million per Veyron. So Toyota lost 250 million, VW lost 2.8 Billion. VW still makes the Chiron now, and a host of crazy sports and super cars accross their brands. It makes Toyota look limp wristed in comparison, especially since VW had been hot on their heels as #2. |

Oh dude if that was supposed to be sarcasm you failed miserably!
Make it over the top so that there is no mistaking it.

If you continue to lose money but continue a project then they will fire you. This project probobly breaks even when you include Subaru. If you add turbo then you will lose money and steal customers from the Supra and WRX. It makes no sense and will never happen. It's a tired argument. Asked and answered by both companies. Move on. |

In fact, I think we can all agree ("we" includes Subaru & Toyota) that there is a plenty big enough market for more powerful twins and the only reason they aren't made is to avoid stepping on the toes of other models they make. |

I've heard pretty much nothing but bad things about forced induction first gen. We'll see about the second gen but I have my doubts.

That is all because there isn't a large enough market for any of these cars to make it profitable unless they share the research and development. Yet you want them to make one of these cars that would cost them quite a bit more to produce just to take customers away from themselves. How does that make any sense to you? Or do you disagree with my premise. Because if you agree with what I laid out then I really don't understand how you think it would make any financial sense to do what you are asking. |
