Default Really Confused?

ok so the other day i was driving and i saw a convertible with the top down.
It looked JUST like a sky/crossfire/solstice from the back. But it said toyota? . . . supra...? so im thinking did toyota already release their new supra or is this another poser? putting a supra emblem on a domestic car..? If a new supra did come out then wtf? how did i not know about it.

A new Supra has not come out and it has never come in convertible trim.

Yup.

That's the MR2. (Stood for Mid-engine, Rear-wheel drive, 2-seater.)

Discontinued in '05 due to lack of sales/interest.

It was highly recommended by Consumer Reports and many magazines. Recommended moreso than the S2000 or Miata...

they may be the same, but the silver one has slits on the side vents and the tail lights are different between the red and silver. Anyway, i am 100% positive i said supra, because i was on the left right and behind the car, trying to figure out what it was, and i didnt wanna pull up to the guy and say.. thats not a supra

I would've pulled up and said "That's not a Supra." Just to let him know he's not fooling everybody and hopefully nobody. You had more car sense and thought "WTF?"
