Toyota Planning Two New Sports Cars

The sub FR-S is still in the very early stages of development. What we do know is that Toyota is dead set on it being rear-wheel drive. That’s especially  encouraging. Considering that such a car would be smaller than FR-S, it’d probably be a two-seat roadster. Tada confirms that it won’t be so small that it’s a kei car, although, a next-gen Cappuccino would kick-ass. Instead it’ll be a “city sized coupe.” So… A Yaris sized rear wheel driver. Who knows that they’ll call it? The MR-S? FR-Celica?

The kicker is they plan on listing it for under $20,000. I don’t know about you, but the thought of a new sports car at Honda Civic prices is extremely exciting.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, there’s the BMW/Toyota sports car that we’ve been hearing about for months. If you’re holding out for a new Supra, this is thing looks like your closest hope.

Toyota’s definitely up to something. Hopefully we’ll get to see the BMW and Toyota concept at the Tokyo Autoshow in November. We’ll see if Toyota pursues the smaller car in the coming months.
