Although this is a hotly debated issue, Celica would be a really appropriate name for this car -- the Celica was Toyota's first true production sports car, and even the most recent variants have had succesful runs racing in Europe and Asia.

And of course, there is the much beloved GT-4 (yes, not RWD, but still a proper sporting car, albeit for rally).

All the Initial-D fans want this car to be called the Trueno...

Eh, I prefer Celica... but we'll have to wait and see.

Well looks like the FT-86 or whatever you want to call it is being pushed back from 2011 to 2013. Toyota is putting it on hold to see how the CR-Z goes and might decide to give it a hybrid engine?

im curious if Nissan is still going to go through with the 240 concept...the concept pictures look pretty bland..

so far, two predictions:

That rumor was recently debunked -- the production model is set to be on sale for November 2011.

2011 sales they must be testing the production version of the car. And I havent seen anything other than the concept. No spy photos nothing. I guess we'll see.

According to that article the production car will differ only slightly from the concept.

Take a look at the last gen celica -- it was almost identical to the XYR concept.

I sure hope the make a turbo version!!!!

Surprised no one has mentioned bringing back the Supra nameplate. Although a lot of this concept would have to change to justify the name.

I thought the rumor was that the "next supra" was going to be the new Lexus. That never panned out.

The supra name needs to be a car above the Z in power/performance/quality.
This is a great car that is a replaced for Nissan's 240sx in a modern world, until Nissan brings back the 240sx.

Based on days of yore, a Supra would be a top of the line Celica with a 6 cyl engine and would be a direct competitor for the Z car.

All of that can happen with the FT-86...

Probably not, because from the get go the design around this car was the Subaru engine.
I could see this being a stepping stone for Toyota back into the game and if this does well the new Supra might be back on the table.

Also, the turbo version will be in the Subaru car, Toyota is getting the NA car.

Again your going back to the '80s the celica and supra have long been separate cars lines on separate platforms and separate model directions. When the supra split from the celica it became Toyota's top sports car. On Toyota has Lexus and Lexus has the FLA. If toyota does make a new supera I agree it will go with a v6, but it will be priced to compete more with the vette so it maybe a turbo like they used in the past.
