I hope they revive the Supra name with the production car (assuming FT-1 goes that way). Also, make sure it's mod-friendly in both appearance and performance. I've given up all hope of getting a Mk. IV at this point. Rare and expensive, especially in manual and tastefully modified forms.

i absolutely hope that toyota comes out with a new sports car to instill fear in godzilla, and especially since i just started working for toyota so i'd get to be able to sell this new car, but if it doesn't have a turbo inline 6, cockpit-like dash, and 6 speed manual please don't call it a Supra. in my mind, that's all a Supra can be. also calling it a Supra will lead people to want to compare this new car to the old Supra, when they're completely unrelated. but please make SOMETHING toyota!!! you have nothing exciting at the moment! i'm bored of people coming in just wanting a RAV4 or something...

All jokes aside, very cool. Love the name of that Toyota store, and great catch chikoo. FT-1 is like the icing on the cake for your Paris vacation

Wow! What a treat!

How do you like it in person (did you like it in the photos)?

I'm really crossing my fingers for this.....I don't care what they call it and I don't care if it's a godzilla killer
