Ye he got 500 LFAs made that nobody bought and then discontinued the whole project.
He has been running the company for like 10years and im not impressed.

GSF, RCF dont sell.
ISF discontinued.
New LC500 coupe has ancient V8 at $100k price.
New LS500 has a V6 tt really? Lol

The standard models are a joke with old V6 engines dating back to 2005 that are underpowered and have poor fuel economy.
Hybrids are not selling.

They have RX, ES and NX which are all FWD based Toyota platforms.
They make a killing on them.

Still no TT V8, no DCT, no strong push for F brand.
