Ya never know with Toyota, but that would be a staggering mistake on their part unless they really want to mirror the inordinate disparity in wealth in the US with their car line up.
Slow and/or reliable carts for the peasants; underperforming but exquisite super cars for the super-wealthy. I will hate Toyota forever if they do that, having barely gotten over my massive disappointment on the FR-S...
Toyota is ready for a 40K-ish car that will match or spank the Z, and give the higher end pony cars a run for the money (substituting raw power for high reliability and good looks, as usual...)
Based on the underperfoming, staggeringly overpriced LF-A, there is no way they will be able to catch the Corvette or GT-R at a reasonable pricepoint, and they don't need two cars that only the Koch brothers et al and Jay Leno can afford.
If they really want to make a proper Supra, in keeping with the previous model, adjusted for 2014 values, it should come in under 50K loaded, if memory serves...
We'll see...
