Or not. At the moment the rumor mill has BMW sticking with roadsters and Toyota sticking with coupes. See my earlier comment.
There's more to it and the rumor mill is very much out of the loop. This isn't just a single coupe/roadster pooled project. It's an entirely new modular platform and hybrid/EV drivetrain pooling. There will be quite a few models (coupe, roadster, sedan, and even crossovers). This is one reason why Magna as the first point of assembly is likely to come to fruition.
