However we have some horrible news for you. If Automotive News is to be believed - and they mostly always are - the Supra has been dropped from Toyota’s production plans due to high mpg requirements.
I always loved the Supra. Why is Toyota reluctant to bring out this Supra concept below? Stuff the engine bay with the 3.5 litre motor from the IS350 &/or V8 from the IS-F? Enthusiasts are craving for this..

That was Supra rumor #8736219347321 back. When I was an active part of Supra Forums, we had one owner who was in Toyota Marketing and he swore a replacement Supra was on its way. 9 years later, it's no where to be seen. Sometimes I wish the Z was such a huge runaway success, so that Toyco would answer back (that's usually their M.O.), but even popularity it's declining rapidly as much as the S2000. I believe the next "soul of a SUpra" (i doubt there will be another vehicle with a Supra badge) will probably come in the form of the IS Coupe....but we'll see.
