I don't think he's getting what you are saying. REGARDLESS of whether it will be classed under the Lexus placard, or Toyota nameplate, this new GT will (most likely) be with an alphanumeric name, and marked with astronomical pricing. And furthermore, I don't think that Toyota wants this car to be easily accessible to all consumers. It's more of a "this is what we can do" production auto to step beyond the NSX. If the GT does come ashore, I don't think Lexus would want its prestigious lineup plagued with a brute, uncomfortable racer since ALL of their cars are known to be pampering luxo-cruisers; therefore it would probably be fit into the upper niche of the Toyota selection--especially now that their TRD name is becoming much more publicized to the general public.
I don't care if I cannot afford this car, and it would just be nice to know that it exists. Would people want Toyota's next flagship sports car to be a cheap low grade model? And as for ones that we can afford like the 93+ Supra, there is still the possibility of a competetively priced mid-range Supra successor...
