I think its sad that Toyota's goal with this car is to knock the 350z off of its pedestal, when the Supra was originally designed to compete against the Skyline. I guess they finally realized that they would never match up.

Thats just the magazine articles take on it. Toyota probably just wants a "halo" top notch car thats sporty. Toyota sells good reliable gas saving cars, but they dont want a rep of selling boring, bland cars. So they need a sports car.

Ive also read it may be released under a Lexus name. Some (heavy) rumors are that it may even be something like a Toyota Lexus Supra... for like a luxury sport car with more sport than Lexus.

Just in though, its basically guaranteed that toyota will NOT produce a two seater. Instead, toyotas high-up execs prefer THIS:

I dont mind at all.

And yeah, when a new supra comes out, prices will go down for old ones.

Oh and to those who are supra fans... its dropping the I-6 in favor of a V6 and V8... and no turbos.

You do realize that all the fastest cars in the world use forced induction systems, right ?
Hell, back in the 80s when they were allowed to use turbos, F1 cars were making over 500 horsepower more than the current 3 liter naturally-aspirated V10s ... and they only had 1.5 liter engines !

Forced Induction > Natural Aspiration

for power.... obviously. as far as enjoyment, for me its an easy choice.

It's a popular phrase among car enthusiast. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

thats just pure speculation. Toyota will not release a sports car. Hence, the disconutation of the celica, xrs, and mr2. They in to make profit and to sell cars to the mass market which are reliable GAS SAVING vehicles. And thats why they have a Scion line for the smaller sports/tuner market

a scion doesn't belong in the same sentence as.

How could you not like a turbo? The most efficient power to be had.

Supras, RX-7's, 300zx's are all junk without them.

The worst thing Mitsubishi did was produce a NA only Eclipse.

Who remembers the Starion?
