Why did Toyota stop making fast sports cars?

losing money is bad for business

Lexus capped how much you could charge for a Toyota badge

are you illiterate?

I said the MAJORITY of people in the world don't care about cars.

Also there were less restrictions when it came to emissions in the 90's. But also majority of people in the world still didn't care about cars like you or I do.

Fast cars are still being made today but not by manufacturers like Mazda or Toyota.

Nissan is still making fast car (the GT-R).

Work on your reading comprehension.

next time you go into town look at every car and count how many are the top of the range "hot" model.

Because all their high-performance cars are sold as Lexus vehicles.

New Supra should be coming out in the next year or so.

The same reason most other "performance" cars were killed in the early 2000's. Sales had slumped.

>Ended between 2000 and 2002
Supra
RX-7
S chassis
F body
Skyline
GTO/3000GT/Stealth
FTO
Fairlady Z
MR2 (not MR-S)
"The Gud Hondas" (DC, EK, BB)

I am sure there are others I am forgetting but the turn of the century was not good for performance cars.

a car that hasnt been made for close to half a decade

>>17440005
the new Camry might indicate a reversal of that trend

>>17440005
bc they're a middle class divorced mom kind of company

>>17440005
The 90's were a dark time for the Japanese economy. It affected the goals of said automotive companies.

>>17440005
Because fast Toyotas are unreliable and they would need warranty service every 12-18 hours.

>2014: BTFO by Audi
>2013: BTFO by Audi

>1999: BTFO by BMW (and Nissan)
>1998: BTFO by Porsche

Toyota will be always BTFO at Le Mans.
