Toyota should revive the 2000GT

Okay, there's no actual rumor of this happening, but with all the remakes of vintage cars going on, I would love Toyota to bring back to 2000GT. I definitely think it has potential to do well, even here in the States, especially as a performance oriented car for around 20k. Here's why; as a performance oriented car, it's only real competition would be the Mustang, which it could easily beat in handing and fuel economy, what with it being Toyota and all. People are going for smaller, more lightweight cars now, but most are geared only towards fuel economy and performance is sacrificed for most of those cars. The only real drawback is that it's a 2-seater while most cars like it would be sedans. It could do better upmarket, where it would be more like the 350Z or RX-8, but there you'd have tougher competition.



Allright, guys, am I wrong? I would just love to see a concept based on it. What cars do you think should be brought back?

Re: Toyota should revive the 2000GT

1) a new 20g front engine rwd car would also compete with the miata, saturn sky, and pontiac solstice, not just the stang
2) people that buy performance cars tend not to care about the gas milage, if it's good, it's just a bonus.
3) the only car toyota should revive would be the mid 90's mr2 or possibly the supra, but the supra will never happen.
4) outside of toyota, only car that should be brought back would be the pontiac fiero. base with a v6 top model with v8. power output of around 275hp/425hp.

surely you've been here long enough to know the rule about old+dead threads.
