Default I got a New M5

Naw just kidding wish I did, I got a 2nd. gen. GS300, but on a serious note I am a die hard Lexus fan but this new M5 is incredible. I must say this is the best car with four doors. I know alot of people don't like the styling of the new 5-series but you have to see it really to appreciate it. One of my co-workers has a black one with 19in. BBS wheels and a limo tint all the way around. Really sweet car. What do you guys think? Oh yeah finally saw a new STS. Nice car really nice car.

Hopefully Toyota will release the next Supra badge a Lexus. Oh yeah just bought a Maybach but didn't like it and took it back to get a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR.

I dont get whats with everyone and the next "Supra" I mean, if they're not naming it a Supra...why would people still think its a Supra? that is just odd to me.
Name : Supra (this is a Supra)
Name : GT 2000 or whatever (this is not a Supra)

sorry aplus this is just a rant, dont take any offense.

The 1967 Toyota 2000 GT name refers to the 1988cc motor. This car is the ancestor to the Supra. Another name for the MKIV Supra is Toyota 3000GT(not to be confused w/ the Mitsu) due to the 2997cc motor. The next car will be 4000GT or 5000GT.

actually, the reason I used GT 2000 is because one of the many "rumor" articles said that this was one of the many names they were considering for the next Toyota flagship car.
