I miss those cars. :sobbing: Nissan still has their 370Z and Mitsubishi with their Lancer Evo's. Toyota has TC Scion but can't compete with them.

The EVO X MR Touring is one of my favorite car to own. If it weren't made by Mitsu, then it would be a screaming bargain!
 
No Supras on the horizon but the Subi/Toyota car could be interesting but I don't think it will be a EVO/WRX stablemate but we can always hope so.
 
Man you gotta love the supra. My dad has a white, 1997 Twin Turbo 15th Anniversary Edition Supra. Everything is still stock except for a lowered stiff racing suspension. For a while they were developing the FT-HS concept but just dropped it last year, that would have become the next supra.:ybrick:
 
Isn't this basically going to be the next Supra?

Everyone says its suppose to be but with a 100K+price tag and limited production numbers (500 i think) its far from a supra.

Actually far more pricey, it will be $375k+....

The LF-A is not trying to be a bang for your buck Japanese sports car, but rather a top of the line supercar.

Too bad i can't afford it. If only i hit the powerball lotto, that'll be nice.
 
First of all I doubt it, at least for awhile.
Second, here is the concept I was talking about. THIS IS the next version of the supra if only it would be made again.:roadkill:

Pic to prove:
(check out the side-swept cockpit just like the supra)

Its all about platform sharing to ensure the vehicle can be made profitable. For example the Z shares a platform with the Infiniti G-series cars. Perhaps the next gen IS - platform could be adapted?
 
IIRC, the Supra project has been shelved indefinitely by Toyota. True Supra enthusiasts/purists say the Supra is dead as of the MKIV and anything else coming out is just carrying the name will always lack true Supra DNA.

If there is a sportscar shared with the IS platform, I think Toyota will likely badge it as a IS-coupe and call it a day. But in any case, I don't think Toyota has any real motivation to bring back a sportscar. The closest to that we can get to a sportscar today is the X-Runner.

Toyota is more an appliance maker. They just build plain vanilla cars, but they do a pretty good job at it.
