Not sure if it’s already been posted. But this would be fairly interesting. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting another GR86 but would wait for something like this if it was real.

Toyota And Mazda Join Forces To Co-Develop New Sports Cars

To guarantee the survival of the world's biggest-selling roadster—the Mazda MX-5, and the popular Toyota GR86, the two carmakers have joined forces.

The most important thing they can do is have a big ADAS button to turn all the shit off. If they don't do that, I'll never be interested.

If they want to give me 1/3 profits for consulting on that they'll probably sell a lot more vehicles.

To Elaborate on the article though. It's great that they want to continue with the model. Unfortunate for me, the MX5 is too small to fulfil my brief of a "just about practical enough" car. exciting to see what they come up with though, so long as it has the aforementioned button.

In case they're snooping on this thread...might I suggest an MX86 RF? A man can dream...

This. I'm not buying another new car unless I can turn all this off easily. Next car will be a used replacement for the Swift eventually, probably a hot hatch so I can make progress on Welsh roads during the hikes and when I go to places I don't want to take the 86 because of bad lanes. The 86 is going nowhere.
