Well, I hope that we are going to see Supra successor. I wouldn't be surpised if they bring out the next smaller, cheaper Coupe, which is even below the TC or FRS.

As they said, one will be cheaper, and one will be more expensive than the FRS

Pop Quiz: Which Detroit Motor Show Debut is Hidden Behind this New Teaser Photo?



While we've done our best to keep you fully updated and…visually informed about all the world premieres (and the North American debuts, but those don't really matter, do they now) set to take place at the Detroit motor show on Monday, some production cars and concepts have eluded us.

That doesn't mean they will all remain hidden from plain sight until Monday, or at least not in their entirety, as this cropped teaser photo that was just released by automotive spy Chris Doane proves.

We're guessing that the rear diffuser shot comes from a surprise premiere or a car that has been announced but not shown yet, and we have plenty of those, including the Corvette Stingray Z06, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon, Acura TLX and the Toyota Mirai sports concept.

So, what do you think it is?

Looks similar to the 2009 FT-86.

Lol you are so right.

So what is this ? A V6 twin turbo larger 86? If so i guess it will come out as the last supra. V6 with Yamaha head for 320 hp or twin turbo V6 for 415hp ?

Price are as followed 32k na and 38k twin turbo ?

If this is it....it would kill the new mustang for sure. The vette ? Not so sure, but if this is it. I bet Toyota is goina stir the market up again for JDM turbo performance vehicles once more

But if that is close...i see hybrid on the side.

Then the idea that they want to make an NA V6 or I4 hybrid turbo is huge.

Probably 32k v6 or 40k hybrid. Hehe

World Car Fans is saying it may be the Q50 Era Rouge Concept. But why tease a car that already been shown? (Except the rear).

Hmm...what will Toyota be unveiling on Monday morning? According to Motor Trend:
"Toyota's got big plans for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. So big, they say you won't want to miss their big announcement on Monday at 8:50 a.m. EST."

Why in the Blue sky does Toyota keep their lips so Sealed regarding a new car. Is it an Indication of "Car is not yet ready for Production Reviews" ?

The rear fog looks so out of place. It looked great on the angular Z, not on a Q which is full of fluidic lines.
