Toyota Motor Corp.’s incoming chairman said he wants the sports car the company is developing with Bayerische Motoren Werke AG to be a midsize vehicle comparable to the discontinued Supra.
Takeshi Uchiyamada has been telling people that Toyota’s next sports car should be like the Supra so that it doesn’t overlap with the 86 coupe, he said in an interview yesterday in Osaka at a gathering of members of the Keidanren, Japan’s biggest business lobbying group. Still, such decisions are up to engineers, Uchiyamada said.
