Why? There's simply no market for the latter vehicle. Nearly every car that once fit that bill is out of production or going out of production.

Yes there are people who want that, but they do not represent enough of the market. Toyota will have to give this some decent performance specs to sell.
The original point of the concept car was to gauge interest in a returrn to a modest sports coupe. As evidenced by various media activity, there is lots of interest in this sort of car even with modest performance numbers. You may be right that they think they have to up the performance in order to sell it, but I hope they don't.
