Forget about that M-whatever.

What is that Toyota 5000GT over there?
Looks like a viable Supra replacement to me.

Yep. It was going to be 2 series for all coupes, 3 series for all sedans, and 4 series for all convertibles or something wacky like that. BMW would then have 1-7 series But they scrapped it, and now all the 3 series now will remain 3 series.

And that recognizable name I think is the main reason they wanna keep it. The M3 is a legend now.

yeah, if toyota sticks to its badging titles, then it would be. the 2000gt back in the day, the 3000gt with the supra and now the 5000gt. its supposed to have a 5.0 v10 but also cost in the area of $120k. The article said we will never see it on our shores, but it wouldnt suprise me to see it as the replacement supra just junked out for us spec.
