Ya it's old news, I think it's hot tho. I heard they won't continue the Supra name anyway, so even if it's the new supra it will be called something else, but will be the evolution of the supra nonetheless.

looks like crap, like some 1st year design school art project.

after the IS300 i havent seen many lexus's that i like. and yea probably very slim chance of seeing another supra anytime soon

if you follow toyota's thought process everything revolves arround the celica as their main sports car. from the celica came the supra, and from their apirations for a samller celica came the mr2, only sports car we will see from toyota is the celica, if that.

said isnt it.
the reason i think they dont go for sports cars anymore, is cause of the gas mileage, the supra was a gas monster, and toyota is known for having cars with 30+ mpg, hell the celica gets almost that.

that would make perfect sense....

if it were right.

neither the mr2 nor the celica are going to be continuing anymore.. after the 06 model..that's it.

and since when did the Toyota sports car revolve aroudn the celica?

The celica gave birth to the supra...and then went FWD...you'll never see a late model celica listed as a sports car in the toyota books..its a sport compact if anything... the supra was/is toyota's only GT sports car. (aside from the 2000gt) the mr2 was perhaps toyota's only true blue sports car, as they had nowhere near the level of GT luxiuriousness (excluding the late model MR-S) of the supra.

There is no doubt the supra was the center of the Toyota sports car world..right up until there was no longer a production supra...the MR-2 took over after that and now the Scion TC is gonna try it out...but with lexus being around..don't expect toyota to risk a sports car with a T badge on it anytime soon


that being said.. REPOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSST!

omg1!@!@@22!!!!!12eelvel1!!! its the new supra!

The LFA is supposed to be the new flagship for Lexus now that they're going world-wide. I think the talk about it being the new supra in disguise is wishful thinking. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Toyota wants to have anything to do with a high end sports car again. They honestly don't have an engine that can succeed the 2jz anyway.....so even if yota were to come out with a supra, it would just be a mk4 in disguise.

if there was, they made like 1 or 2. they definatly were not public sales. and they more than likely were concept cars.

probably thinking about the racing supras.........after the 3sgte some of the mk4 race cars had the 4.0L 1UZ-FE V8. As far as I know, they've never been marketed to the public, though.

So.... I guess I get to buy a mkIV instead of waiting for the mkV?


or you could shoot yourself with the ugly gun and drive your mk2.

why downgrade from such sexy styling and sophistication to a blob on wheels with a hula hoop spoiler?
