Haha, so winning isn't their goal? I must be better than Schumacher, he just clearly used the wrong philosophy.

And yes, 2000GT is a glorious thing, but more of an LFA sort of experiment, not really a successful sports car.

And in what world was a Probe comparable to a Supra?! I'd say RX7, 3kGT, 300Z and Corvette. If you're some anti American car weirdo, you can exclude it, but nearly every consumer did.l cross shop them and certainly as the dollar to yen tanked, consumers lost the value proposition of the Mk4.

Primary point being that they've never really had a wildly successful sports car. No Miata, no Corvette, not even a Z car type success. You're right that the Celica (even though it moved from rwd to fwd) was probably the longest tenured, but it was always a weird thing and nearly always someone else was making a better version of it.
