Yeah, they should have a TRD badge for the true performance cars.

Call it the
TRD 5000GT
would be nice.

Isnt that mitsus? #000GT(3000GT for those who couldn't care for mitsu)...they can get by with inspired looks, but naming schemes too?

x2. MSRP is almost identical on the Corolla, and xB. Plus, Toyota came out with the Yaris (Which by the way, is actually a nice car for its price) and that starts at 11k

And the Toyota 2000GT came out before the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

What Lexus is trying to do with this car is redefine the brand. Rather than make a new brand specifically for sport, it'd make more financial sense to broaden each brand's portfoilio to include sport cars.
