sigh . . .

 

Soon come, time will tell. And I think Toyota is waiting on the new release of the Skyline GT-R as it may have plans to go up against. I do not think this will be the final cut to go into production, and I can defintely see a more potent engine and higher perfomance hybrid option, than what is stated on all these Japanese mags. Can't wait!!!

 

If the supposed Supra is a hybrid, it can only be badged a Lexus. Toyota (I think?) announced that TOyota Hybrids will be economy based while the Lexus hybrids will be performance based... A somewhat credible source said a new sports car is hitting the Toyota line (or possible a Scion flagship)... only confirmed that it WILL NOT be badged the Supra. The name hasn't even been decided... it's still in "X123" project name format =\

 

Wow, that's a really good looking PS. I wish we could get some sort of official word if they were even going to build a sports car...otherwise these are all just shots in the dark

 

Thats a MUCH better looking front end than the previous chops. I was always under the impression that LF-A (now confirmed to be V10 powered) will be the competitor to the Ininiti GTR and the Supra would take on the Nissan Z? Either way, i think Toyota needs to hurry up with the Supra. Nissan has been enjoying sales of the 350Z for a solid couple of years now with very little competition from the anemic RX8.

 

Can't wait

 

honestly, as much as i am dying to see a new supra coming back, i dont get excited over this supra news anymore. I have been fallen for this for so many times but has been all rumors.
IS350 will do just fine for me

 

I'll just wait for the REAL one to come out before jumping to conclusions.

 

Not to add fuel to the rumor fire, but according to the headline on that mag, the new Supra will be in the $30,000 price range, power around 350hp.

 

I doubt it will be that cheap. Toyota can easily sell it for a good 45/50k and people will easily buy it. The Supra enthusiasts will be all over it still.

 

I hope they restyle that front end.... it looks alittle to aston martin for me

 

If the next supra follows one of the more credible rumors -- 400+HP V8 based on the IS460 coupe -- then it'll be nowhere near $30k. More like 45k~50k, still significantly lower than the GT-R.

If Toyota needs something to take on the 350Z, they should reintroduce Celica with the new 3.5 V6 and price it around 28k. The sub 20k sportscars can be handled by the tC.

 

Sigh...They should just stop with the Supra PS.

 

not really, Toyota has never announced anything such as that. Although for Lexus they have concentraded on getting more performance so far, in the future hybrid system will be more efficient as well (read bigger hybrid system needing less of an engine to be fast).

as to the supra... heh.
